ASM Community

Here are some codes taken from "Exagone's Mosaic Tutorial" which I didn't understand.
Please anyone explain to me. My problem is I can't figure out what whole of the algo
is actually doing.

The comments below are made by Exagone himself.

Well this is the whole algo. Now I will try to explain what I have understood.
MY DOS BASED ASM IS VERY POOR which you'll see in few seconds.

The comments below are made by myself.
;================================================================================
; --- Loop through all the numbers and draw them one by one ---
	xor		ebx, ebx	;clear EBX
	.WHILE	ebx<16			;loop until EBX is less than 16
		mov	eax, ebx	;since EBX==0 now EAX==0
		inc	eax		;EAX is now 1
		invoke	GetCoordinates, eax	;call the subroutine
		mov	dx, ax		;dx = row	;don't know how
		shr	eax, 16		;ax = column	;don't know how
		and	edx, 0ffffh	;make sure that edx = dx ==>WHY?
				    	;Why EDX must be equal to DX?
		imul	edx, edx, 50 	;} Multipy edx as well as eax with 50
				     	;Why multiply by 50 and what it is doing.
				     	;I mean why double EDX
		imul	eax, 50		;} same question why multiply by 50?
		mov	TempRect.left, eax	;mov the value in EAX to TempRect.left
		mov	TempRect.top, edx	;same thing	
		add	eax, 50		;I know what it is doing
					;EAX==EAX+50
					;but what it is adding 50 to EAX	
		add	edx, 50		;same thing here
		mov	TempRect.right, eax	;moving the value of EAX
		mov	TempRect.bottom, edx	;moving the value of EDX
		mov	eax, ebx	;EAX==EAX+EBX==0
		inc	eax		;EAX==0
		invoke	wsprintf, ADDR Buffer, ADDR NumberFormat, eax
		invoke	DrawText, ImageDC, ADDR Buffer, -1, ADDR TempRect,\
				DT_CENTER or DT_SINGLELINE or DT_VCENTER
	inc ebx		;EBX is now 1
	.ENDW		;end the loop is EBX<16
ret			;return
DrawNumbers endp
;================================================================================
;				GetCoordinates
;================================================================================
GetCoordinates proc	dwTile:DWORD
	mov	eax, dwTile	;mov dwTile to EAX. If dwTile is moved to EAX
				;then what exactly EAX is holding? is it the address.
	dec	eax		;don't know what is doing?
	cdq			;?????
	mov	ecx, 4		;ECX==4
	div	ecx		;divide ECX by EAX and the remainder is in EDX
				;eax=quotient = row (how EAX will contain the number of
				;row)
				;edx=remainder = column (how EDX will contain the number
				;of column
	shl 	edx, 16		;shift EDX by 16. I think it puts zeroes.
	add	eax, edx	;EAX==EAX+EDX
ret
GetCoordinates endp

Can't do better formating than this!
