assembly-breakout

This project aims to port the classic Breakout game into 8086 Assembly.

How to run

It is recommended to run this game through a DosBox emulator

1. Clone this repository
2. Compile the code into a .com file (I used emu8086)
3. Run the .com file on a DOS compatible machine, or use a DosBox emulator.

Features

• Projectile collision checking with screen bounds and paddle
• The direction of the projectile will be changed based on where it hits the paddle
• For projectiles, drawing is ignored if an update has not occured
• For paddle, a full initial draw is done, then only the outer margins are redrawn to save performance
• Score tracking
• Reset when game ends
