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.

    • This is sadly what happens when a company tries to become political and focus on agendas outside gaming, the constant push of inclusivity and whatever the current thing was and box ticking, instead of simply focusing on what was a great game to many myself included, massive let down that a once great game company has ended up this way hopefully this will be a lesson to game devs from here on in to leave politics and agendas out of gaming
    • Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in March, Sony increased PlayStation 5 prices, and now, it's Microsoft's turn. Today, the company announced a major price increase that will affect all of its Xbox consoles, and one storage option is being discontinued entirely. There is some time before the new prices go into effect. Starting on August 1, 2026, any Xbox Series X|S model with 512GB of storage will cost $100 more than now. The price of 1TB models will go up by $150 instead. At the same time, all 2TB models are being discontinued. "The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles," said the company. "Unlike phones, computers, speakers, and other consumer devices, consoles are typically not sold at a profit, but instead for less than they cost to make." As the hikes hit, Microsoft is beginning to offer more options to make its consoles more accessible to potential customers, including financing, buy now, pay later schemes, and refurbished options: Buy Now, Pay Later: We’ve made it easier for players to use Buy Now, Pay Later options on eligible XBOX hardware purchases through Microsoft Stores, making it possible to break up your payment into predictable short-term, interest-free installments. Interest-Free Financing: Players purchasing eligible XBOX hardware through Amazon can take advantage of 0% APR financing for up to 12 months, giving players more flexibility with lower monthly payments and more budgeting control. Previously Played Consoles: We are working with retail partners on new programs to provide previously played consoles at lower prices. Players who are ready to upgrade or no longer use their console will be able to trade it in with participating retail partners for cash or store credit. Those consoles will then be made available at lower prices for players. Certified Refurbished Consoles: XBOX Certified Refurbished Consoles are available at Microsoft Stores for up to US$100 off MSRP. Microsoft said that the rising cost of storage and memory prices is behind this decision, with costs going up by over 2.5 times since the last time it raised prices of its consoles. The company says these parts are expected to double in price by the fall of 2027.
