This is the main site for HLA:

itll have a few useful links for anyone wanting to try this. Theres a couple tutorals and the like on the site.

Now I just have to learn assembler.
All i have to say here is Good Luck.
Assembly isnt the easiest programming language to get into, though it is one of my favorites for just the raw power it has and the extremely small size of the programs.
(compared to some of the bloated programs we accept as normal today just because we have larger hard-drives,
)
Here are some other types of ASM setups if you find HLA isnt your thing:
First a note, Not all ASM languages are the same, they use the same principle and what works in one Might work in another, but most of them have their own language.
GoASM has a bit of info on the Basics of ASM, which you might want to check if you never programmed in ASM before:
http://www.godevtool.com/#tutorials
So if youve never touched ASM before, you should at least read over '
For those new to assembly language' even if youre not going to use GoASM,
Theres FASM which ive always kind of liked, but itll be a bit more low level then Go or HLA,
http://flatassembler.net/
(I think FASM might be portable too, cant remember,)
and lastly theres MASM, which ive had no end up trouble trying to get to work correctly for me, ...not saying its bad, because SpinRite is programmed in it if i remember correctly,
its just not very compatible with me,

but any of which you choose, it basically comes down to what youre trying to do and which one youre more comfortable with.
