Another x86-64 Assembly Video Game                                  Febuary 2025

    Github

    Video game made by Christopher and Anthony for the 2025 Cambridge Game Jam.
    Written in x86-64 assembly. Graphics and input were supported by communicating
    with an X11 server. It is a two-player online multiplayer cooperative game.

    The theme of the game jam was 'Synesthesia'. The player must vicariously
    'sense' where the red and green buckets are on the teammates screen only by
    verbal communication.

          

    Tips for writing assembly:

    strace and gdb are your friend. If you dont know how to do something then write
    a C program to do it and the examine the strace logs when it runs. Use gdb
    breakpoint command lists to replace printf debugging.
      The cost of making abstractions is greater in assembly (takes time to write
    function interfaces, etc..). This means you should modularise your code and data
    into slightly larger chunks than you might be used to in higher level languages.
    Effectivly using global variables is a large part of this.
