I just started nasm yesterday using xp. I understand alittle, but wanted some help to get a jump start. I will be visiting the websites and further readings in the coming days that Ive seen posted on the forums.
But I figured I would cheat and see if some one could write me a simple program and describe each step. I figured this would be a good starting program. Something to do with a loop and key presses and screen output. What I was thinking, is have the program wait for a key press, then display what key was pressed, loop until esc was pressed.
I guess it would look like:
--------------------
Press one key or Esc:
Value:"key pressed" ; not sure if this would be the actual letter or number or the code representation
Press one key or Esc:
Value:"key pressed" ; I guess compare the register and exit or show key
--------------------
Heres the little I know although it could be wrong:
Org 100h
;display message
mov ah, 9
mov dx, msg
int 21h
;user presses key
;something like this?
;mov ah, 10h
;mov al, 0
;int 16h
;compare value ie cmp or jmp?
;if Esc key pressed exit
;if not, show key or value and loop display message
msg db 'Press one key or Esc',0Dh,0Ah,'$'
Thanks in advance, maybe I'll get good enough sometime to help others out.
