Hey Dennis,
It may seem easier at first glance but I think its important to seperate assembly code from C, this is a design pattern that I like to follow. I recommend waiting until you finish the course before making your own changes because it can be hard for me to assist if things go wrong if the code base is different.

Kind regards,
