In this post we are going to look at branching as it is explained in Letter III.
At it’s most basic level, branching is a conditional jump statement. The Amiga hardware offers opcodes for several conditional jumps.
Amiga Machine Code Letter III - Copper Revisited
Writting the Letter II posts, left me with a feeling that many details had been left unanswered. So it was with mixed feelings that I started reading Letter III.
The letter turned out to be a good read, answering many of the questions I had from the previous letter.

We have reached letter II of the Amiga machine code course. This letter introduces some basic but very important stuff - the DMA channels and the copper.
I will go thrugh this letter a little bit out of order.

Amiga Machine Code Setup
In this post I will shortly describe the development environment I will use on the journey through the Amiga Machine Code course.
It’s been years since I last used my Amiga 500 and all the bits and pieces are now stored away in boxes.
