It seems the code is 0xF5 (245) bytes. The rest are strings and probably the melody itself :) Quite impressive!
P.S. He sets ES to 0, not using it as 0, then sets it to 0xB800 for video memory. Suppressing MOV ES, ax where ax=0 will free 2 more bytes :D

Code: Select all

hmm... something tells me I need to get a new disassembler... here is what I got on the first 20 lines when I disassembled it:

Code: Select all

skeq v1,C0
???
mov v14,v12
jmi C00
add v12,BF
scdown 14
mov v6,AB
jmi 88E
rand v0,0B8
scdown 0
rand v13,D10
???
jmi 900
jsr 0CD
jmp 0B0
jmi 6E6
skne v3,C7
scdown 4
add v14,D
Messed up huh? :?

@Zenith: thanks, now my collection is complete :D

P.S. He sets ES to 0, not using it as 0, then sets it to 0xB800 for video memory. Suppressing MOV ES, ax where ax=0 will free 2 more bytes :D
Well actually, setting ES to 0 allows me to use stosd instead of something like mov dword [0x00:0xFC00], 0. :wink: (Oh well, I'll check which method takes up less space sometime).

And in case you missed it, I posted the code for my demo right before you posted your disassembly :D.

@Coddy: Whoa! I think you've got a disassembler for a completely different architecture there. (Did some research and it seems to be output for CHIP-8 VM opcodes - back in the good old days... See here and here.)

Any chances to see a fourth 512-byte asm compo organized ? :roll:

(I managed to successfully miss the first three editions, and hence still have got a potential entry ready and waiting.. grumble..)

We're still "discussing" the next one in some other thread somewhere. Not sure when it will pop into existence though.

EDIT: spelling fail.
