I've been looking at small tetris games; doable in <256 bytes; I'm at
241 (219 with a different look), I'll look at adding "drop" and
maybe scoring.

Dropping & scoring (up to 9!) added. still 17 bytes spare!
There's also a(n unavoidable?) bigjumpback in there that wastes 3.
If I could only make the keyin rtn shorter.

It would be more interesting, and less mangled, for you to post the .asm source instead of a binary hex dump.

Where's the fun in that?
OK you can have a 'u' debug dump for a bit of clarity.
I've improved it slightly; I have 7 spare bytes now, so this doesn't match the previous hexdump.
Note the cunning use of /movsb/ to move through the lines; often copying in place!
also that /bright/=blockchar (8)


;  assumes ax=0 ,ss=ds on entry, also that int 10 puts spaces (0x20) to screen area
->u 100 l100
162E:0100 40             inc          ax
162E:0101 CD 10          int          10
162E:0103 68 00 B8       push         B800
162E:0106 07             pop          es

It would be more interesting, and less mangled, for you to post the .asm source instead of a binary hex dump.

OK you can have a 'u' debug dump for a bit of clarity.

Those last 8 bytes (yes, including the ret!) encode the tetris shape data

That's very impressive John!

Actually it also requires ch=0 on entry; fixing that takes another 2 bytes. But I have 6 leftover so it could be done.

Thanks. I saw a demoscene version from a chap in Hungary:
https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=6951
but that only has 6 shapes, no scoring, no dropping, so I thought I'd see if I could do better

Mine is based on James David Chapman's 1999 /tet.asm/ which I'd made smaller a year or 2 back.

Dropping & scoring (up to 9!) added. still 17 bytes spare!
There's also a(n unavoidable?) bigjumpback in there that wastes 3.
If I could only make the keyin rtn shorter.

Sorry if it wraps: here's one where you can max out the score at 99!
(but only 1 byte left)

I've been looking at small tetris games; doable in <256 bytes; I'm
at 241 (219 with a different look), I'll look at adding "drop" and
maybe scoring.

Dropping & scoring (up to 9!) added. still 17 bytes spare!
There's also a(n unavoidable?) bigjumpback in there that wastes 3.
If I could only make the keyin rtn shorter.

Sorry if it wraps: here's one where you can max out the score at 99!
(but only 1 byte left)

[I've copied in dos programmer]
/msdos/



Revisited: now a pure 8086 version (previous ones require 186 for push
value; rol reg,num; and pusha/popa)

255 bytes: still 1 long jmp and 4 lots of push pop cx, so maybe a few bytes
still to squeeze out. Oh, scoring is now unrestricted. No sounds or
speedup, just std play with csr keys (and Esc)
