C64 Tetris

Tetris for Commodore 64 (C64) in Kick Assembler

Introduction

This project is a clone of the classic Tetris game, developed for the Commodore 64 (C64) using Kick Assembler. The aim was to recreate the core mechanics of Tetris, including piece movement, rotation, line clearing, and scoring, while working within the constraints of the C64's hardware.

Inspiration: My First Computer and the Beginning of a Passion

My first computer was not just a tool; it was the spark that ignited my passion for programming. Even though at the time I lacked the knowledge and documentation (and much of it was in English), I always dreamed of developing a game in assembler. That dream stayed with me throughout my life, and although I started late, at 50 years old, I decided that it’s never too late to learn and pursue what you love. My first computer gave me my vocation, but it was determination that led me to follow that dream.
