Code Guts

I thought I'd set up a blog here to document interesting things I find in the world of disassembly and programming.  We'll see where it goes!

My current project at the moment is the classic BBS door game Legend of the Red Dragon, developed by Seth Able Robinson over at RTSoft.  It's since been sold to Gameport, where it's mostly stagnant now.  But I thought it would be fun to go through it and see what there is to see.

By the way, the version I'm disassembling is v3.55.  This was kind of by accident.  When I started, I assumed it was 4.00a, the very last one from Seth Able.  I'd copied it out of an old BBS directory I had without checking.  But it's not a big deal, for a few reasons.  First, the only versions after 3.55 were 4.00 and 4.00a.  Second, v4 didn't really introduce that much based on the change log.  In terms of gameplay, it was mostly just a new blackjack game.  I think I remember it, and sure, it was neat.  But the fact is, I played on 3.55 way more back then, so for nostalgia's sake it's fine that this ended up being the version I'm working with.  I may still do 4.00a later, who knows.

Let's get started!
