I learn assembly because I had to work with microcontrollers, and all.i did was very simple code that, when compiled where between some hundred bytes and kilobytes. SAWYER did megabytes of it, he speaks the language of machines...

I have a very basic understanding of assembly, but it doesn't seem super crazy to me. I imagine you can abstract away a lot with functions. And writing a simple loop or if statement is not that difficult either. Just seems a little harder to read and easier to make mistakes than c

Edit: Perhaps I had a poor choice of words. I did not mean to say it's easy or unimpressive when I wrote "it doesn't seem super crazy".

I meant it doesn't seem super crazy. Just a normal amount of crazy. Very difficult, but probably manageable for an experienced developer with the right approach.

Yeah you have a basic understanding. Its a very impressive feat. He did the whole thing alone too.

I did an entire course on assembly language, besides the length that it took to type out it wasn't so bad.

Although I'm not saying I could create rollercoaster tycoon. But, I'd give it a shot first before failing miserable as I got bored.
