TX-15 - The Joy of Assembler
A downloadable game for Windows
You're thrown back to the seventies and join Telog-Zyrix as a new programmer tasked to develop an operating system for an unknown micro-processor called the TX-15. Armed with nothing more than a user manual and basic development environment, your task is to write the code that will make this micro-processor a world-wide success.
Learn about:
- conditional jumps, stack operations, interrupt handling, device driver coding, function calls, file systems, network coding.

This is dope, really enjoyed it! Feels like a sequel to (and improvement on) TIS-1000.
I want to port this game to linux. Can I have access to the source code?
Interesting game. Learning assembler coding without the need to learn hex arithmetic at the same time.
I think the Jumps task is misformulated. If you want me to subtract 10 from 282 until I reach 0 or less, it takes 29 subtractions, not 28 as your program wants.
Thank you!
You are right about the wording of the Jumps task. The wording has now been changed to "count the number of subtractions before A becomes negative. In other words, the return value in C must be the original value in A divided by 10."
A new version 0.1B is now available (also includes some updates in the manual and improvements in the videos).
