Assigning combat damage
I was attacking with a 4/5 deathtouch creature into a 2/4 and 2/2 double block. I assigned the 2/4 as the first to receive combat damage, when it was assigned both their creatures died.. 4-4=0 meaning there wouldn’t have been any damage left over to kill the other creature.

Any nonzero amount of damage from a source with deathtouch to a creature is lethal. You only have to assign 1 damage to any blocker to get to the next. Meaning, a deathtouching attacker can kill as many blockers as it has power. If it also has trampe, all damage minus the number of blockers can be assigned to the player/planeswalker it attacked.
