🔱 Clash of Processors 🔱

An x86 Assembly project

Description

In this project, we made an assembler in the form of a 2 player game. Each player has his own 8086 processor and 16-bit memory (RAM), your target is store the value "105e" in one of your opponent's registers. In each round you are able to write a complete x86 assembly instruction that will be executed on your opponent's processor but be careful, your opponent has set a forbidden character that you can't use in your instruction, in addition to some power ups that may be used against you, which makes it harder to reach your target.

Features

• Serial port communication.
• 20 x86 assembly instructions.
• 6 addressing modes.
• Separate chat module.
• In-game chat (in 2 Players using serial port version).
• Randomly flying objects, each player has a gun to shoot them and earn additional points.
• 2 levels.

Versions

• 2 Players on 1 PC

The 2 players play on the same pc using the same keyboard.

• 2 Players using serial port

2 PCs are connected using the serial port cable, each player plays on his PC with complete synchronisation in instructions, in-game chat, gun fire and more!
