I would like to code a 2D scroller in ASM

[powerpenguin]

I would like to start a side ways scroller in ASM. I was using VC++ 2005 which compiled some small tutorials quite well. Does anyone have any code to share, that work in VS 2005 (ASM), or other insights or tools? BTW, there was nothing in the book I was reading (ASM book) about graphics work.

Meanwhile I guess I'd better reinstall VS 2005.

are you sure you want to use asm to do this? Seems like only a headache and you would be much better off using SDL or Allegro from C.

If you insist on asm then if win32, again the simplest solution would be to call into the C libraries like SDL to manage input, graphics and sound.
