# BM-NAC

pronounced: bee-em-nack, stands for: beautiful-minimal-noughts-and-crosses

A noughts and crosses (tic-tac-toe) game for the Linux terminal written in assembly language, and designed to be both good-looking, and to produce a very small binary.

Produced for Hack Club's [saycheese YSWS](https://saycheese.hackclub.com/).

## Running

If you don't want to use the QR code, you can run it with:

```bash

nix run github:headblockhead/bm-nac

```

## QR Code

The binary is small enough to fit in a QR code, so here's that QR code!

![game binary qrcode](./qrcode.png)

Use `zbarimg --raw --oneshot -Sbinary qrcode.png > executable` to get the executable from the QR code.

## Tasks
