The first video in Photon of Scoopex's Amiga hardware programming series. It shows how to set up an assembler and write a minimal 68000 program that waits for a left mouse click.
Why Hacker News points people here: Recommended as an approachable start to Amiga demo and 68000 assembly programming.

“you should fasten your seatbelts and check out this video tutorials by Photon of Scoopex”
Video tutorial series on Amiga assembly programming by a demo group member.
If you think that article is awesome, you should fasten your seatbelts and check out this video tutorials by Photon of Scoopex (Demo Group). this video
“this video tutorial series is great as well”
Tutorial series on Amiga demo programming in 68000 assembler.
For Amiga demo programming with 68000 assembler, this video tutorial series is great as well: this video I wish I could send these back in time to my teenage self.
“Scoopex has a video series of Amiga demo programming starting all the way from the basics of using an assembler”
Amiga demo programming series from assembler basics.
Scoopex has a video series of Amiga demo programming starting all the way from the basics of using an assembler: this video I would have killed for this back when I had an A500. It seemed like dark magic and all I could find was a book on ASM game programming tricks, which was too advanced for me.
“Check out this assembly programming series”
Assembly series showing how little code gets graphics and input on Amiga.
I think the opposite is true because those machines were built around assembly programming. The hardware was essentially the software development framework. Check out this assembly programming series, it's less assembly code on the Amiga to get something on screen or getting mouse/keyboard input than with highlevel languages and APIs/frameworks today: this video
“I found this Amiga Hardware Programming playlist by "Photon of Scoopex" quite nice”
Playlist that jumps straight into writing a tiny wait-for-mouse-click program.
I found this Amiga Hardware Programming playlist by "Photon of Scoopex" quite nice (I was actually expecting that it's this one), it also jumps right into action by writing a little 'wait-for-left-mouse-button' 3-liner: this video
“You might like Photon of Scoopex's Amiga Hardware Programming tutorial”
Tutorial building an Amiga demo from scratch in assembly.
Reading this made me (very) sorely miss my A1200, which I used as my daily driver all the way up to 2003. I was shocked at how much difference in speed a 4MB Fast RAM expansion and 68881 FPU made. You might like Photon of Scoopex's Amiga Hardware Programming tutorial[1], in which he creates an Amiga Demo using assembly from scratch in ASMOne/ASMTwo [1] this video
“I've stumbled upon someone making an old school demo of sorts in asm on amiga on youtube”
Someone making an old school Amiga demo in assembly.
Kind of related. I've stumbled upon someone making an old school demo of sorts in asm on amiga on youtube: this video
Amiga hardware programming among a list of old system videos.
If you enjoy reading documents, BITSAVERS.ORG is a treasure mine full of lost knowledge. link Here you will find Xerox PARC, DEC, Burroughs, Apple, Sun, Borland,... old research documents, papers, manuals. In the context of static compilation, for example in MS-DOS, take Turbo Pascal 6.0 programmer's guide. link For some 8 bit love you can check ZX Spectrum and Atari archives. link link Next step is to get an emulator for any of those old OS/computers and try to follow along one of those books. Also there are some videos on YouTube showing those systems. "The Smalltalk-80 Programming System" link "NeXT vs Sun" link "Steve Jobs internal demo of NeXTSTEP 3" link "Amiga Programming" link "Amiga Hardware Programming" this video The Mother of All Demos" link Just a very tiny sample of videos
