I tried decades ago. Grew up learning BASIC and then C, how hard could it be? For a 12 year old with no formal teacher and only books to go off of, it turns out, very. I've learned a lot of coding languages on my own since, but I still can't make heads or tales of assembly.

Try 6502 assembly. https://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/

My favorite assembly language by far.

this page is great. starting right at "draw some pixels" in such a simple way just instantly makes it feel a bit more approachable!

If you can't get enough 6502 you can build your own http://wilsonminesco.com/6502primer/

I built a 6502 SBC on a breadboard years ago
