+ One of the coolest things I've developed is a game, fully written in
+ assembly.
+ I say this because it is the perfect intersection of many things I enjoy;
+ low level programming, physics, space, simulation development, and game design.
+ Also small enough of a project that I could complete it in under a couple
+ of months, so another win. I even named the game based on the emulator, as
+ Phobos is a moon of Mars
The instructions for this
+ assignment were very broad, to develop a platformer game in assembly.
+ This left a lot of room for creative freedom, especially due to the
+ loose definition of platformer. With infinite time I would have
+ developed a whole rocket simulator, and used the justification that the
+ launchpad was a platform.
+
+
On the technical side this was a very difficult project. There are
+ only about 16 variables actually usable in MIPS, and a lot of them are reserved
+ to specific logical controls under best practice. Then following the many
+ loops and recursive, real-time functionality required extensive and efficient
+ use of the stack. Ideally accessing a few bytes shouldn't strike the fear
+ of low framerates to mind, but the Mars-MIPS emulator I was using was far
+ from efficient.
+
+ Probably the most annoying part of this was that the emulator couldn't
+ handle simutaineous key inputs. Fortunately I have over a thousand hours
+ experience landing rockets on the Mün
+ so I was comfortable giving a few unique key inputs per second. I never imagined
+ this is something I would be proud, and I still don't think I am. However,
+ it works.
At this point you may have realized I am a bit of a
+ space nerd. Enjoy this recording I made at 1am demonstrating the
+ features of my game to a TA, compressed to the point that the audio has
+ texture.
