MIPS-PONG

The age-old game of pong implemented in MIPS assembly. Please excuse our mess. It's a work in progress!

This is meant to be run in the MARS simulator. It uses both the Bitmap Dislay and the Keyboard and Display MIMO Simulator tools.

The MARS simulator had a bug a threading bug involving using multiple tools. A fix was published by the internet user Confect. We also used Confect's MIPS snake game as a learning source.
