writing in assembly is such a joy ... cuts to the essence ... such speed, power and danger ... especially when doing graphics pre gpu ... your post inspires me to get back on that saddle ... loved back when I found how to control one pixel then over a few days implemented bresenham's line algorithm then had objects moving in 3d with perspective projection all in a few pages of code, of course no libraries ... electrical engineering majors who get assembly as their first programming course like me are exposed to programming in the spirit of a chainsaw haircut

great post
