Actually, I just wrote Pong for my calculator in assembly today. The basics are pretty simple if you already know another language. It probably would have taken about ten minutes in C++, though. What's nice is that it's lightning fast (compared to TI-BASIC) and people can't mess up the source code. Plus it gains you a certain level of, shall I say, prestige.

I never really liked VB much, but I never really learned it either, ever since my buddy sent me an app with bazillions of modules and dlls and cabs and ocxs and whatevers... The app itself was pretty small, but all the dependencies were bloated.
