compile to .COM/.EXE file?

[aquynh]

this is such a great game. but can you get Makefile to compile this to .COM (or .EXE) file to run in DosBox or DosEmu?

thanks.

It's programmed as an OS, not to run in DOS. It runs in any x86 emulator.

yes but with some little modification, you can compile it to a .COM file as well. running this in DosBox/DosEmu is way more convenient than in a system emulator.

an example: a .COM file can run in DOS emulator on IOS/Android.

thanks.

I'd be willing to accept a PR for this.

This looks like it contains useful information: http://nullprogram.com/blog/2014/12/09/

the other game was in a very similar situation with your game, and they just made this possible:
icebreaker/floppybird@588bc20.

That approach doesn't work here, since Tetrasm assembles object files then links them, rather than %include all of the source files.

Managed to hack around that in feature/com-build, but I get a whole slew of errors from DOSBox such as:
