KIM-1 Battleship

Source: https://github.com/netzherpes/

If you are enthusiastic about the KIM-1 (which I assume you are, since you are also reading this now) then the question of software quickly arises. On the one hand to play around with it and on the other hand to learn something new.

The gentleman named netzherpes comes to our rescue, and shows a heart for real retro gamers. Say Hello to Battleship for KIM-1. And that's really funny, because it's hard to believe, the whole original game printed in hex format fits on less than half an A4 page. Compare that to current multi-gigabyte epics ... but I won't complain. Nothing is as constant as change. 🥳

Corresponding PNGs can be found in the github repo of the game.

Definitely a lot of fun for everyone, who knows the instruction set of the 6502, and wants to comb through the 196 lines of Assembly once. Cool. Thing. This.
