Engineered a recreation of Google's iconic Dinosaur game using pure x86 Assembly language, demonstrating mastery of low-level systems programming and hardware interfacing. This project required direct manipulation of CPU registers, memory addressing, and BIOS interrupts to achieve real-time graphics rendering and responsive gameplay without any high-level language abstractions or operating system support.

The implementation features a sophisticated interrupt-driven architecture that manages game state, collision detection, and audio feedback through direct hardware manipulation. By leveraging VGA mode 13h graphics and optimizing memory access patterns, I achieved smooth real-time gameplay while maintaining strict memory constraints. The project showcases advanced assembly techniques including stack management, register optimization, and direct I/O port communication for keyboard input and PC speaker audio generation.
