[Acheron]

This is strange coz I am more used to welcoming others to forums than introducing myself, but I will give it a try…

The name is Acheron and I hail from a little old country in the Aegean called Greece where I have been living for the last 21 years.
I am a bit too much of a lowlife who spends more time drinking beer than looking into programming books so,I thought this could be a good place to check out some tutorial that will aid me !

And now that I officially introduce I will go ahead and break your nerves by asking for some help :D

I was not sure if should start a new thread over this since I haven’t gotten used to the forum yet (and I know that asking stupid questions gets on ppl nerves) so,I might as well ask for help here.

I am desperately looking for some source code on assemble and I did use the Search button before I post this but the results I got didn’t really fit me.
What I need is a basic program/tutorial that manipulated a TWO dimensional array in MIPS assembly.

If anyone is kind enough to help out I would be grateful


Sorry to bother you and see ya all in the threads !

Καλώς ήρθατε στο Κοδεκάλλ, Αχερόν!
I hope that was right, but please correct it, if it was not. :-)

I've never done any MIPS Assembly programming, but I found an old link from my bookmarks. I've never read it, so I can't say whether it's good or not. It's a kinda old tutorial, so much of the information is probably obsolete now. Anyway, here it is.

That was rather good Void,only that Acheron is actually a name and its spelled like Αχέρων with the omega and codecall would be pronounced better as κόουντκολλ :p

Anyway,I have seen this tutorial before and its rather good for someone who is just getting stared on MIPS but what I am looking for is more advanced and not included here.

Thenx for the effort and the welcome !

Yeah, I thought Acheron was a name, but unfortunately I transliterated it a little wrong. Is there a rule on when to use omicron and not omega and vice versa - it has always confused me, because as far as I remember, the pronunciation is completely identical?
I thought you should transliterate names (in this case, CodeCall) into how the letters are compared to Greek and not how they're pronounced, like now, when I tried to transliterate your name.
Aλλά ευχαριστήστε για τις διορθώσεις!

I'm sorry you couldn't use the link. I can really help you further from here, because, like I said, I've no experience in MIPS.

[Acheron]

Well, according to the grammatical rules omega is always used in the ending of verbs on the first person like παίζω,διαβάζω,that is standard.
Now,omicron is the gender index of male nouns and it call also be seen in the ending of adjectives before male nouns.
Ex: Ο καλΌς άνδρας since the word man is male.
In the middle of words you mostly run into omicrons but there are also some omegas every know and then so you need to get the spelling with experience.

As for the difference in the way they are pronounced,omicron as it is declared by its name o-mocron is small,soft and fast but the o-mega is more deep and lasts longer.You need to be a native speaker to get the difference and even then it is hard but a good example is by trying to pronounce the word Ζώον.

English words are given in Greek by the way they are pronounced and I know that coz of streets named after English names.

And “ευχαριστήστε” may be correct but you are not likely to see it used that way,like in English you wont hear someone say “you are thanked for your help”.

Anyway,all this grammar gave me a headache,I always hated that since the language comes fluidly if you are Greek.

Thenx for the welcome and the service,both of you !

[v0id]

Thank you for the explanation. Actually, I haven't needed the pronunciation of the letters yet, as I haven't spoke with any Greeks, but it's great to know anyway. I'm soon going to German exams, so I've stopped learning Greek for a while, though I'm sure I'll pick it up again some time in the future. But when I meet a Greek from time to time, like you, then I try to write some simple sentences with my small vocabulary and bad grammar, and often (= always) it results in rubbish. ;-)

[Acheron]

Greek is one of the hardest languages with the biggest vocabulary and the most complicated grammar,don’t worry,you are doing just fine !:D

Hello Acheron, Welcome to CodeCall!

[TcM]

Greece? I guess we are not so far away then :) (I don't live in greece) but quite close in the Mediterranean sea.

Anyways nice to have you here, you seem like a helpful person.

[Acheron]

Hey ! thenx !
Italy ? turkey ?

I have still much too learn so i am mostly hear to read and not to write but in matters that i know of i am always glad to help.

[TcM]

Well... not that close to greece. I guess it's in the SWW of Greece, south of italy.
