This is a simple implementation of the classic game Mario written in assembly language specifically designed for Apple Silicon ARM processors. It utilizes BIOS interrupts for keyboard input and screen manipulation to create a basic game loop where Mario can move left, right, and perform a jump.

• Apple Silicon ARM-based Mac
• NASM (The Netwide Assembler)
• QEMU (optional for emulation)

1. Clone or download the repository to your local machine.

2. Navigate to the directory containing the assembly code.

3. Compile the code using NASM:

4. Link the object file to create an executable:

5. Run the executable:

6. Use the following keys to control Mario:

• 'a' - Move left
• 'd' - Move right
• 'w' - Jump

• Mario starts at an initial position and can move left or right using the 'a' and 'd' keys respectively.
• Press 'w' to make Mario jump.
• The game loop continuously updates, allowing Mario to move within the boundaries of the screen.
• Mario's jump height is limited, and he falls back down after reaching the peak of his jump.
• Collision detection prevents Mario from moving beyond the screen boundaries.

• This implementation uses BIOS interrupts for keyboard input and screen manipulation, which may not be the most efficient or modern approach but serves as a simple demonstration of game development in assembly language.
• Emulation with QEMU may be necessary if running on a newer Mac with Apple Silicon.
