m68k-nibbles

Report: Hosted project history

Nibbles for the Motorola 68000, with the original nibbles.asm source plus a modern terminal-first interpreter and CI/test reporting setup.

Current Status

• nibbles.asm is still the source of truth for the game.
• The repo now includes a vendored React/Yarn workspace version of m68k-interpreter in references/m68k-interpreter.
• That interpreter has been extended with the Easy68K subset needed by Nibbles:
  • compatibility loader for the Nibbles assembly dialect
  • runtime support for the instructions and addressing modes used by the game
  • terminal device support for the game’s text-screen output
  • keyboard input and trap handling for gameplay
  • IDE support for loading and running Nibbles directly
• The interpreter is split into separate workspace packages:
  • packages/interpreter
  • packages/ide
• Test coverage and CI results are now reported through test-station for both:
  • the Nibbles-focused project surface
  • the full interpreter workspace

Run The Browser IDE

The current recommended way to play is through the vendored interpreter workspace.
