I had programmed a computer game in my spare time based on [the game \"Atomix\"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomix_(video_game)) for MS-DOS in Turbo Pascal and X86 Assembler. \n\n[![YouTube video](images/atoms-youtube.png)](https://youtu.be/gdbhJfQu5CE)\n\n[See YouTube video here](https://youtu.be/gdbhJfQu5CE)\n\n## Screenshots\n\nFollowing are some screenshots of the game.\n\nThe splash/loading screen:\n\n![Image](images/atoms-screenshot-2.png)\n\nLevel one in the game:\n\n![Image](images/atoms-screenshot-5.png)\n\nLevel two in the game:\n\n![Image](images/atoms-screenshot-6.png)\n\nAsking the user whether he wants to quit:\n\n![Image](images/atoms-screenshot-3.png)\n\nThe highscore board:\n\n![Image](images/atoms-screenshot-4.png)\n\nThe external setup/configuration application, made with [Turbo Vision](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Vision).\n\n![Image](images/atoms-screenshot-1.png)\n\nBack then in the 1990s it was really fun to develop the game.\n\n## Running the game\n\nI recently made the game runnable again by installing it in a [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) virtual machine with MS-DOS 6.22. \n\nI had to patch the executables because of a bug in the Turbo Pascal runtime/compiler for faster processors. See [this german c't article](https://www.heise.de/ct/hotline/Nicht-schon-wieder-Runtime-Error-200-307662.html) about details of the **Runtime Error 200**. Download the patching tool as \"ctbppat.zip\" from [this location](https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/c-t-Systeminfo-2859100.html).\n\nTo play the game, locate the VirtualBox image in the \"vm\" sub folder and run it in VirtualBox.\n\nInside the MS-DOS machine, the game is located in the folder **\"C:\\uwekeim\\atoms\"**. Start the **\"atoms.exe\"** executable.\n\n## Additional information\n\nSee [this file for additional documentation](sources/ATOMIX.DOC) about the program and some cheats (all in German only).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fuwekeim%2Fatoms","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fuwekeim%2Fatoms","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fuwekeim%2Fatoms/lists"}
