How hard would it be to port Enduro from the Atari 2600 originally written in assembly to SmileBasic? I just love enduro and it might look pretty darn good with the 3d effects on the 3ds

Very difficult. Assembly is one of if not the hardest programming language to learn, in fact, it's not just one language but a group of many different languages.

you don't have to translate each instruction from assembly to smilebasic, you just have to have the same rules. it's like how the same game concepts can be expressed in different ways, and the way it will be expressed in assembly language will be a lot different in how you will want to express it in smilebasic.
