Programming Example
Writing code in assembly is a lot like that riddle about the farmer who has a chicken, a fox, and a bag of corn that he's trying to take across a river, but he only has one boat to do it with.
But on the bright side, none of our registers are going to eat each other, and we're not going to be attacked by any foxes! (actually, your registers might eat each other, so declare them clearly at the beginning of your code)

10 ; * PROGRAM OVERVIEW *
11 ; * *
12 ; * data is read in from memory and written to the codec at the same time *
13 ; * new data is written to the memory from the codec. the delay time is set *
14 ; * by the rotary encoder (MOD2) on PORTJ. if the rotary encoder is turned *
15 ; * to the right, the delay time is increased by a fixed amount. if it is *
16 ; * turned to the left, the delay time is decreased by a fixed amount. the *
17 ; * rotary encoder only changes the desired delay time, and once each sample *
18 ; * sample period, the desired delay is compared to the actual delay. if *
19 ; * they are not equal, the actual delay is either incremented by 2 samples *
20 ; * decreased by one sample. since the memory pointers are incrementing by *
21 ; * 1 sample each sample period, this gives an effective increase of 1 *
22 ; * sample, or decrease of 2 samples per period. this has the effect of *
23 ; * doubling the read rate to go forward, or playing in reverse to go *
24 ; * backwards. this eliminates the audio glitches of quickly jumping to the *
25 ; * new location in the SRAM. *
