That guide is not entirely correct, but it's a very good start

I have to be frank, I just pulled the first guide that was aimed at people with zero knowledge but I do think it would be a good place to start.

Nevermind, I just used the registers instead.
Thanks anyway, I learned a lot on my first question.
