512-Byte Boot Sector Pong Game
written by - Akshat Joshi Sometime back, I set myself a crazy constraint: Load only one thing at boot - A Pong game that fits in one floppy disk sector — 512 bytes. Why would I build this? I have played with Operating Systems and their workings by customizing them and
Kimthere are a numbef of boot sector interpreters; basic, forth, lisp, etc.
example for x86;

Breathing RetroThey have also other great retro coding books available for #Intellivision #Colecovision and #BootSector games: nanochess.org/store.html
Their website and GitHub (github.com/nanochess) are just an awesome collection of coding resources

Updated my bootloader to have maximum payload capacity.
A lot of text can be displayed for game title, description and keys. Example usage for my game in the screenshot.
Dedicated sub-page for all my assembly, 512 bytes, games!
Pixelartin' for next game.
Core gameplay alredy done. Still some bytes left for more sprites!
Find out this awesome IDE: Fresh.
It's for Flat Assembler. I was able to fix some bug and now I have a .COM version of the boot-sector games working fine in DOS/WinXP!
