Inkbox decides everything in computing since sending man to the moon was a bad idea. Even operating systems and programming languages!

He sets out to write a complete clone of Zaxxon in assembly language with no operating system. He handles display, keyboard, mouse input, booting the system himself – and walks us through it all.

This kind of coding is exactly what got me into computer science as a kid. Watching demo scene videos and learning to program right to the display buffer with assembly was an era we don’t see much anymore. Still, I did get to make a graphics app that directly booted the display controller on recent hardware for an embedded platform (but that’s a story for another time).

How does it go? Awesome! Open Source Project on GitHub: https://github.com/InkboxSoftware/spacegamex64/
