# Skirmish

`Skirmish` is a single-screen C64 tactical prototype built in 6510 assembly with `ca65`/`ld65`.

## Controls

- `Q` or joystick fire: cycle the selected player unit
- `W`, `A`, `S`, `D` or joystick directions: move or attack
- `E` or space: end your turn without moving
- `R`: restart after a win or loss

## Build

### Windows

```bat
build.bat
```

### Cross-platform

```bash
make
```

## Run

### Normal

```bat
run-vice.bat
```

If you load it manually in BASIC, use `RUN`. The built PRG contains a BASIC stub that executes `SYS 2061`.

### With monitor

```bat
debug-vice.bat
```

## Current MVP

- 3 player units and 3 enemy units on an 8x8 board
- Keyboard and joystick input
- Single-step movement or adjacent melee attacks
- Greedy enemy AI using Manhattan distance
- Win/lose flow with restart
