what is a ASM hack?

Computer code can be written in several languages. All of the high level languages, like this:

Var
 I, J : integer;

Begin
  I := 2;
  J := 3;
  Writeln(IntToStr(I * J));
End.

This is fairly easy to understand (It displays I * J, which is 2 * 3 = 6)

A PC can't directly understand that, so it must be translated into machine code, which would look more like this:

MOV EAX  2
MOV ECX  3
MUL ECX // With EAX)

As you can see, ASM, which is the second example, is nastier to read/write, and less compatable, by using proper high level code, the program is nicer to write, which results in a better final product. ASM hacks are also annoyingly hard to debug.

Renguard is a wonderful initiative
