The challenge

The problem behind the build

An NES demo has strict sprite, memory and timing constraints while still needing readable combat and transitions.

The approach

How the pieces fit together

Assembly modules separate player and opponent behavior, combat, HUD, sound and screen states. Conversion tools prepare reference artwork for the target format.
