Programs in machine language or in C

mazedaze.cmd		The classic Pac-Man game. This M20 implementation is written in the Z8000 assembly. I was able to run this program only under PCOS 1.3
bd.cmd		An Asteroids clone: Astro-Boulders (Oli-oids?). This M20 implementation is written in the Z8000 assembly. I was able to run this program only under PCOS 1.3
lena.zip (24 KiB)		A 256*256 pixels dithered Lena image on the Olivetti M20. A graphic demo by Davide Bucci and Christian Groessler, written in C. The Lena image is a Anti-Correlation Digital Halftoned version.
slideshow-0.9.zip (72 KiB)		A slideshow graphic demo by Christian Groessler, written in C. The Lena image is a Anti-Correlation Digital Halftoned version. The Alfa 147 image comes from Alfa Romeo The other photos are by Davide Bucci. This version is more responsive to key presses and a simple effect to switch slides has been added. Call the program with the %e option, to enable the effect. The effect is implemented twice, once in C and in assembler. The pre-compiled binary is compiled with the assembler version. Use "make ASSEMBLER_EFFECT=1" to compile the asm version, by default the C version is built. This project is an example of mixing C and ASM code in a M20 cross-compile project.
