DOS ain't dead

Your preferred coding style ?



It's impressive ... in many aspects:

- Tiny source
- Works ... but very "cheap" example only: no VESA, no mouse, no sound, no file I/O, very little RAM, ...
- Can't play it, get assassinated within 10 seconds at most
- Extremely bloated - 540 KiB for such a simple game ... same size as DUGL PLAYER hogs, including MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 codec, VESA, GUI, mouse, and, DUGL still uses D compiler ... a DUGL PLAYER in ASM could be even much smaller. Such a simple game written in ASM would fit into 2 KiB and work on 8086 with MGA card ... maybe some experts would push it even into 256 bytes ?
