Hey all,
I am new here. I am also new to x86. I am trying to program a paddel moving up and down across the left side of the screen, but for some reason (and I have tried to figure this out for days) it will draw the paddle whereever, but when I hit Q or A to move it up or down, it will only move up and down on the top half of the screen, the initial image stays on the bottom half but it wont move on the bottom half. I am really confuse. Can someone please help me. Thanks
Here's the code:
