# Snake

![snake.png](https://github.com/dexter-xD/snake-asm/blob/main/snake.png)

Written in pure x86 assembly language for DOS operating system

and can be run in DosBox. It is a 16bit retro game and should run on

anything newer than ancient Intel 80186 processor.

## How to compile it?

The compiled version `snake.com` is in the repo so you can skip this point and

simply run it in DosBox, however if you want to try building it yourself do this:

* Install NASM compiler, on Ubuntu you can simply run:

~~~

apt-get install nasm

~~~

* Compile _snake.asm_ to _snake.com_:

~~~

nasm -o snake.com -fbin snake.asm

~~~

## How to run it?

* First you need to clone this repo or download _snake.com_ to a folder.

* Next you need to install [DosBox](https://www.dosbox.com/), on Ubuntu just run:

~~~

apt-get install dosbox

~~~

* Next run DosBox and mount directory where _snake.com_ is located 

- For exemple: /home/dektop/snake/

~~~

mount c path/to/snake/

~~~

* Now you can start _snake.com_

~~~

snake.com

~~~

* Use keyboard arrows (_Up_, _Down_, _Left_, _Right_) to drive the snake

* _ESC_ quits the game

* _A_ print about

* _P_ pause the game
