ok, someone, quick! x86 assembly!


proc BuyMilk

cmp 0, dwEggCount
jz @F ;ZF set? Jump [b]f[/b]orward
mov eax, 6 ;Has eggs, buy 6 milk.
ret

@@:
mov eax, 2 ;Has zero eggs, buy 2 milk
ret

BuyMilk endp
[/CODE]

I haven't played with assembly in a few years, but I guess that code would do if dwEggCount exists. :p

Just make sure that the amount of eggs is stored in dwEggCount and call BuyMilk to return how much milk that should be bought.

I used MASM when I played with it. A few modifications are needed to make it work for others.

I love @@-labels.

Not sure this hasn't been posted before. If it has, I apologise. (I searched before posting.)

Yep -- posted back in June:

I just had to be a little smart alec :p

title groc
.model small
.stack 100h

.data
eggs dw baadh
milk dw f00dh
bag dw d00dh

.code
.486

start:
mov ax, [eggs]
cmp ax, 0
jz noeggs
mov cx, 6
jmp initbuy
noeggs:
mov cx, 2

initbuy:
xor ax, ax
buy:
add ax, 1
mov edx, [milk + ax * 4]
mov [bag + ax * 4], edx
cmp ax, cx
jne buy
endbuy:

mov ax, 4c00h
int 21h
end start

And, before anyone points out, yes. I don't know shhh about x86 assembly (contrary to, for example, the post above), but, arguably, it still looks cool and I had to pretend I'm smart :geek:

Threads merged

Thanks. I kind of figured it, but maybe I didn't search hard enough.

It's hard to find such a topic when it doesn't have an obvious title (like your one did, which is why I kept this title in the merged thread) :)

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.
    • I think there will be a 27H1 for actual users of 26H1 The 25h2 supports ARM too : Snapdragon X, Snapdragon X Plus and Snapdragon X Elite
    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
