Hard to understand without assembly knowledge
From 3 comments
I'm computer literate (and know some basic assembly) but wow I did not get it
personjerry on HNVery cool concept, but my assembly understanding is really poor :) It says that my score is stored in R12, but then why do I have a score of 16 of R12 is zero?…

How to build the game? I tried navigating https://ofrak.com/docs/environment-setup.html, but couldn't find anything specific about the tetris games. Perhaps I miss that?

Why R12 score mechanic matters
From 2 comments
This is so clever, I couldn't help but smile when I saw "Your score is stored in memory at the address pointed to by R12" :) Thanks for sharing, it does makes me miss DEFCON,…
