Here, Waste The Evening: Prince Of Persia Source Code Posted To Github
It's not every day that you see code like this:*-------------------------------* Superimpose "Turn disk over" message*-------------------------------FLIPDISKMSG lda #flipbox ldx #>flipbox jmp superimage
Yep. That's assembly language, about as far from Ruby as you can get. It's from the original, Apple II version of Prince of Persia, one of the best games in anyone's childhood, anywhere. As we mentioned before, Jordan Mechner found the original disks in his father's place last month and was looking for someone to help pull the files off of the disks. Thanks to Jason Scott, Mechner held a copy party in his house to drag, kicking and screaming, into the light of day.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/BoekS1Ow2ic/
