Boot to plasma is an assembler-only port of EXAMPLE1.C from PMODE/W examples. This port is using [fasmg](https://flatassembler.net/download.php), the next generation assembler authored by [@tgrysztar](https://github.com/tgrysztar)

## How to run?

First you need to download the latest version of `b2plasma.img` from the [release section](https://github.com/littleli/boot2plasma/releases)

Now you need to install environment which can boot the image.

These are options you have:

### DOSBox

Packages with DOSBox for specific OS can be found on the [website](https://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1). You have to use [BOOT](https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/BOOT) command. After you run DOSBox you have to mount filesystem with `b2plasma.img` file as a new drive.

Example series of commands from the inside DOSBox:

```sh

mount c ~/Downloads/b2plasma

c:

boot b2plasma.img

```

### QEMU

Download and installation instructions are [here](https://www.qemu.org/download).

Executing command like this should do the trick.

```sh

qemu-system-i386 b2image.img

```

### VirtualBox

Download and installation instructions are on VirtualBox [website](https://www.virtualbox.org).

I keep installation procedure of virtual box upon a user, just with few notes here:

- Use `Other/DOS` as system setup

- No need to setup hardrive space, boot `b2plasma.img` from a floppy drive. This makes the whole image only ~3KB in size

## Interaction

After the boot, press `ESC` key to rotate color palette among:

- red + green

- green + blue

- blue + red
