A complete, playable port of the card game War: title screen with 0/1/2 player menu, animated deal, sliding cards, deck-count HUD, a "WAR!" tie-break with buried cards, and a victory screen with a fanfare. Source split across examples/war/*.ne (constants, assets, audio, deck/queue logic, RNG, render helpers, and one state file per game state) and pulled in via examples/war.ne. Drives nearly every NEScript subsystem at once: custom 88-tile sprite sheet (card frames, ranks, suits, font, BIG WAR letters); felt background nametable; pulse-1 / pulse-2 / noise sfx; looping march on pulse 2; an 8-bit Galois LFSR PRNG; queue-based decks that conserve cards across rounds; a phase machine inside the Playing state that handles draw/reveal/win/war/check; and an autopilot that boots straight into 0-PLAYERS mode so the headless jsnes harness captures real gameplay at frame 180. While building this I uncovered five compiler bugs / limitations in the v0.1 implementation; each is documented with a minimal reproduction, root cause, current workaround, and proposed fix in examples/war/COMPILER_BUGS.md. The most painful was the parameter-VarId aliasing one (#1b) — two functions sharing a parameter NAME end up sharing a single zero-page slot mapping across the whole program. Once those compiler bugs are fixed, the workarounds in war/*.ne should be reverted in the same PR. https://claude.ai/code/session_0143dTgh3UeRrtfHgQwzcv5z |
