Tetris
Two years ago, when I still had my old 486DX2 PC I wrote few programs in assembly language.
Most of them was 2d graphic effects in 320×200x256 mode (I still remember “Mov ax,13h int 10h” :))
It’s a funny story about how I learned this programming language. Two years and a half ago I bought a book about assembler, which was a second part of the other book,that I didn’t read. I had started learning assembler at the time, so I bought that book to learn some basics. Well, things described there wasn’t basics. It was look like an encrypted poems :). I decided to find some tuturials on the internet and back to that book later. I found everyting what I needed, I learned how to write a code, use a compiler, how works memory addressing, and sort of things like that. After a few months since, I had
bought that book, I had a knowledge and I could back to that material again. I was very disapointed, the author probably had not made his homework before he started writing it. The code wasn’t optimized, some parts of the code wasn’t needed, lots of functions described there could be written simpler. I had written all the programs from that book, once again, in my way, and I put it back on the shelf. Since then I know that the lots of more quality tutorials,examples of source codes and samples I can find only on internet (for free!).
Tetris 1.0 was the one of my first assembly code projects. This is a simple game based on 
hmm, Tetris. You know what is tetris, right?. All the graphic was made with the old application - Delux Paint 2 and converted to the hex notation. Don’t ask me a questions about source code becouse I wrote this game 2 years ago, and I only remember that I have it :)…
