- jesse__ 4y agoDamn is the source code for that available somewhere? I loved that game. Edit: guess I could just download it and disassemble ;)
- unsafecast 4y agoNot really. It's actually more difficult than disassembling a C codebase. Chris used a macro assembler and wrote _a lot_ of macros. You'd only see what the assembler expanded, but you'd have no idea how the code _actually_ looked like.
- jesse__ 4y agoRight, thats what I assumed. TIL!
- musicale 4y agoAssembler is low-level C. Also probably easy to learn compared to Rust. ;-) What impresses me though are old Atari games that were implemented in hardware without a microprocessor.
