I was considering learning asm (or at least a little) and looking through posts regarding assembly, i found that people would rather just use c++ entirely than to bother using asm/mixing c++ and asm.

At the same time, however, I've read posts that (at least) games are made with a combination of asm/c++. I still want to learn a little about asm, since it seems it could help to understand how the computer works a bit better, but I couldn't find any threads regarding specifically using asm with c++.

I see that "asm {... } " in your source is supposed to work, but I get a compiler error like "parse error before '{' " if i put it in (using dev cpp)

...If someone could at least direct me to a tutorial that deals with asm and c++ i would appreciate it.
