Our goal is to write a game that fits into 512 bytes bootloader and works in 16 bit real mode on any IBM PC compatible machine without any Operating System.

• Development is done on https://twitch.tv/tsoding
• Archive of the streams: https://www.twitch.tv/collections/VAcjkyTlqRVXuA

First install these programs:

• nasm
• qemu

$ nasm pinpog.asm -o pinpog

$ qemu-system-i386 pinpog

WARNING! THE AUTHORS OF THE GAME ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGED HARDWARE. SEE LICENSE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

1. Build the image of the game: $ make pinpog
2. Get a USB stick (at least 512 bytes Kappa)
3. Plug it in
4. Find the block device of the USB drive using something like lsblk
5. Use dd to write the image to the USB drive: sudo dd if=./pinpog of=/dev/<usb-drive>

TBD

• a, d - move racket sideways,
• f - restart the game,
• space - toggle pause.
