Root797346yAlways a fun idea:
A programming game where you code contestants in assembly and pit them against one another. -
@Root gah! That's an actual thing and I can't remember the name! You write a bot in assembly (arm I think?) And you're loaded at a random offset. Your goal is to find and overwrite the opponents code till last functioning program standing.
Anybody remember what this is? I swear it's a thing and it's driving me nuts. -
Root797346y@deadPix3l I totally remember that, but I can't think of the name. I never played that one.
The one I'm talking about was my introduction to assembly in 8th grade -- AT Robots (TA Robots?) -
@Root oh this looks interesting. I wish I was introduced to assembly so early! Or really at all for that matter. Even in college the best I got was "x86 assembly is a thing. Nobody writes it anymore. People barely even read it anymore because decompilers have gotten decent. Just forget it even exists"
Gee thanks. I use it frequently now. I guess I'm nobody :)
