Andy Selle Releases SpaceWar Source Code
Posted by Nathan on 17 September 2003, 00:16 GMT
Andy Selle released the source code to his game SpaceWar on Friday. This was one of the early ZShell programs. For those of you who may not have been around at the time, ZShell was the very first assembler shell written for the TI-85 calculator. At this time, TI did not have any sort of ASM support, and a loophole was found in the TI-OS which allowed arbitrary code to run. By installing a modified backup file, you could install ZShell, which then provided ASM support to other ASM programs on your calculator. This is a fun little game that has link support between two calculators. It's not the most impressive or advanced game, but it is indeed a piece of history which still has a place deep in the heart of many people who were around back in 1996, like me.
