Low-level programming is good for the programmer's soul
Another quotation by John Carmack. So I
decided to follow his advice, given that my soul at the moment
badly needs something interesting to animate it, so to speak. I 've
been reading on assembly
language programming ( I wrote some apps on assembler for the
Amiga and x86 -- the DOS days -- but
haven't touched it since ) and also browsing through Quake III's
source code, generously released by the id software folks. I
must tell you, it really helps. Its not that low-level, per se, but
it works.
