Forgot to whine about this, but my partner in my android program project is a useless and lazy douche that's in computer science "for the monayz" (he's an arts student, probably one of the kids who apply to UBC just to get in and then find out that there's reasons for application requirements and goes into computer science because "its the only thing worthwhile in arts", not hating on arts students, but arts students like THESE are scum).

Lol doing computer science for the money.  Go tell him to do med or law instead, since he's an arts student, law probably fits him better anyway.  Actually he's probably not good enough to get into med or law, heh.

Assembly language is generally very simple to learn (for RISC systems anyway), it's just very annoying to use.  If you want to program anything significant it'll end up massive so I suggest not doing that and using a higher level language instead.

Also, you probably shouldn't try to program any games until you're very proficient at programming.

I did a section of my advanced programming on reading assembly, it's not hard to read. But to write, god help you.

Most likely both.  Stacks take a while to get your head around but once you're used to it it's not that hard.

Assembly programming is usually covered in "Intro to Computer Systems" or something like that here, usually early second year.
