But ARM ASM seems really cool, especially for the Nspire D:

I understand learning ASM can be much harder for some people, though. I think it may be due to how certain tutorials (such as 28 days) are written, though. People who are visual may have an hard time learning ASM by relying only on it.
Because of this that I like to learn BASIC before learning Assembly for a machine. To learn more about the machine before getting it on the world of Assembly. This is what I've done for all the other Assembly languages(see my signature) and it works very nice. ;)

No problem. One thing, though, when quoting messages you can quote multiple ones at once, so you can post the replies in one post. Just wanted to let you know. ;)

As for ASM I agree. I think some tutorials states that you need to know one language like that or C before attempting ASM, so you learn some programming concepts. It's good to have some other knowledge besides BASIC too but it's not necessary. In my case, I know TI-BASIC and Axe Parser for the TI-83+/84+. Axe is a bit like BASIC but it also deals with a few low-level stuff like pointers and memory addresses

EDIT: Also english is not my native language either. Don't worry too much about it :)

Ok, I'm familiar with forum boards, since I'm a moderator at a big mobile device/GPS community(as I'm a Windows Mobile and TomTom expert). That was just because I was needing to post it faster as I was going to lunch. Sorry. :)

Also, I loved your explanation about my method of learning.

Ah ok I was not sure, because there are boards, especially those that looks like Wikidot forums, Ticalc.org comment boards or Slashdot, where the forum system makes it inevitable double-posting will occur, and some people are used to those boards more than the regular ones. In other cases, sometimes people internet is slower and when clicking submit, nothing happens so they click again and again x.x

So if I want a 10 seconds wait I just need to do something like
Code: [Select]
rand(500)
rand(500)
More Code...
This will have the same effect of rand(1000). Correct?

Just so you know, it might be better to just put rand(999. That way you save five bytes and there is only a very, very, small difference between the length of time.

Welcome to Omnimaga, by the way :)
