Here's a sample program from the instructor that shows working with AVX: http://holliday.ecs.fullerton.edu/Cs240/Software/Avxdemonstration/avxmain.asm

I guess you push 2 qword 0's onto the stack and modify them with "movsd [rsp], xmm"? Then you can take the first (second?) qword and pop it into rax. Example is using unpacked doubles, so I'm not sure.

Any advice on web scraping for my mod?

[Bumber]

Update: You use movq to move a qword to/from xmm registers and memory. Return uses xmm0 instead of rax when you're making use of those registers.

It's all working as expected except the return code is wonky. I set it to pi to test, and now it's bleeding through from previous runs even after I change it. Gonna restart the virtual machine and try some more.
Edit: After restarting my computer, since the VM isn't starting anymore.

Edit II:
It's all working properly. For those who want to see the finished code:
spheredriver.c
sphere.asm

Check your data alignment might be the cause of your previous issues that seemed random

Anybody with web experience, is there a simple service that handles paid subscription services and accounts for your site? Like a "Put a link and sign-up form on your page, we'll handle the rest" kinda service?

[Reelya]

I think you want something like OpenID

No matter what you use, you still need to have your own database to keep track of valid users.

chargebee or stripe fit the bill. chargebee actually has embedded iframes that does exactly that

and I'm building a service that stay on top of paypal where you enter services and handles the rest (including customer communication) but it is far from ready

I agree. I want to search for a database of descriptions, filter out the relevant art, accreddit the author of the art and download them. I need it to check for new art periodically.

I think the issue there was that I completely screwed up my program in memory by messing with the stack. Under the impression that rsp points to the next available spot instead of the current one, I started messing around with stuff like [rsp+8] and [rsp-8]. Then when we get down to "pop rbp", bad stuff. Infinite loop of program messing with the stack and running itself again.

what if instead of searching internet at large you search here http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=images&search=great+one+eyed+cricket&fulltext=Search

I guess it can get a good feedback loop for visibility and stuff

Google custom search let's you bump sites up in priority for scraping, i'll add this in. Know any others, lemme know. Goes to show how fucking good this could be though.

[Cthulufaic]

Just a quick question to bump this back up, but how can I run a program without having to run it through Visual Studio? (program is in C++ by the by, if that matters in this case)

[Orange Wizard]

Use a different compiler?

No clue.  But anyway I found the .exe file, which was in the Debug folder for some reason. huh.
