The86-Pgame
Two-player competitive game in x86 assembly over serial communication.
- x86 Assembly
- Serial ports
- Game logic
Problem
Build a real-time two-player competitive experience constrained to x86 assembly and serial communication — no high-level game engine.
Approach
Players choose forbidden characters for opponents, execute assembly commands on each other’s processors, and use power-ups earned from a mid-game shooting mini-game. Error detection covers size mismatch, illegal memory ops, addressing modes, and invalid registers.
Outcome
A technically deep systems project demonstrating low-level programming, game rules design, and multiplayer sync over serial ports.
