hi

This post is in literate Haskell which means the entire post can be posted into a .lhs file and compiled by GHC.

Haskell is a lazy pure functional programming language named after the logician Haskell Curry.

The following code generates a random cd key for an old game, Battlefield 1942. I derived the keygen method with OllyDBG on a random keygen I found on astalavista.

Thanks NaG-Scrim/Fighting For Fun - it had good music ;D but your generated code is weird, either msvc6 is not so smart at optimization or your src code is strange, never mind I still made sense of the larger picture.

Never Hear Before But Nice Job,What Program You Use To Code ?

Well I Am More Into C# = )

I started in ...

I kind of got out of Assembly when I got into structured languages. I did used to code some of my sub routines in assemby when I was taking C in college. My professor didn't know what to think but my programs ran faster than anyone else, lol.

I really got away from programming for a while and worked on mainly hardware hacking/mod'ing.

Never heard of Haskell but it seems interesting. I would like to do some ASIC programming.

I know some people were interested in hearing about Haskell, here is a short podcast from the Parallel Programming section at Intel (15 minutes / 3.4MB) that might spur your interest some more.
