Yeah it is hard, I did a lot of x86 assembly in college.

I read once that the game Rollercoaster Tycoon was coded by one guy in x86, which still blows my mind. That's part of why it runs so smoothly and efficiently. But I imagine it was a crazy amount of work.

Yea, that's crazy.
Prince of Persia game was also coded in ASM.
Monster programmers among us.

I didn't know that about Prince of Persia. Neat.

I wonder if it'd be possible to make a neural net that does random ASM commands and values and tries to code a random program through trial and error and neural network feedback. That'd be a neat project.
