Tetris Game in Assembly Language

Introduction

This project is an implementation of a simplified version of the classic Tetris game in assembly language, designed to run on a NIOS II processor using the nios2sim simulator. The game is displayed on the LED array of the Gecko4EPFL board, where players arrange tetrominoes to form continuous lines and earn points.

Requirements

  • nios2sim Simulator (compatible with Java 10)
  • Gecko4Education-EPFL
  • Multicycle Nios II processor

How to Play

Game Controls

  • Left/Right Arrows: Move the tetromino horizontally.
  • Up Arrow: Rotate the tetromino.
  • Down Arrow: Accelerate the tetromino fall.

Gameplay

  1. At the start, the LED screen is empty, and the score is zero.
  2. Tetrominoes are generated randomly near the top of the screen.
  3. Arrange the tetrominoes to form continuous lines from the left to the right edge.
  4. Once a line is formed, it disappears, and the score is incremented by 1 point.
  5. The game ends when a new tetromino can't fit on the game screen.

Simulator and Processor Information

The nios2sim simulator and the multicycle Nios II processor are designed to emulate the behavior of the Gecko4EPFL board closely. It's crucial to note that the simulation environment does not support ldb and stb instructions.
