X86adventure is a tiny 2D game engine written in assembly for x86 microprocessor. x86adventure works in 16bit mod.
It includes a graphic library (13h vga mode) allowing you to:
- Draw generic shapes ( lines, rectangles, triangles, circles ...)
- Draw all bitmap format (32bit, 16bit, 8bit indexed-color, monochrome...)
- Print text with custom bitmmap font
- Draw sprites from spritesheet
The demo includes a boot screen, a sprite editor, a map editor and a basic game engine (collision detection, physics... etc.)
- Use +/- to navigate between sprites.
- Left click to change tile or right click to remove tile.
- Press space to set starting position of character on the map.
- Arrow to move.
- Z to jump.
- X to use dash when ready. Up/down arrow to climb plants.
- Escape to quit play mode or sprite editing.
You will need nasm installed on your computer and a virtual machine that can virtualize a x86 processor (virtual box, Qemu etc...)
Compile first the bootloader. It will be written in the first sector of the floppy image :
nasm bootloader.asm -f bin -o bootloader.bin
Compile the game engine files :
nasm bootscreen.asm -f bin -o bootscreen.bin
Concat the two binary files. (Windows users)
COPY /B bootloader.bin + bootscreen.bin disk.bin
You can run the disk image on a virtual machine (Qemu example with haxm acceleration)
qemu-system-x86_64.exe -fda disk.bin -accel hax
You can also boot it directly on your computer using a usb device : move disk.bin to /utils folder and run sectorpadding.exe (or use any software that can make disk.bin size a multiple of 512 , then copy the result file to the first sectors of your usb and restart your computer.
