How to compile
I'm using the ACME assembler, but all specific syntax can be easily adapted to other assemblers like KickAss. In addition, I've used the ACME VSCode Template, which is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Building should be relatively easy if you follow the make.sh file, but you can just drop the files into your build environment and skip the make file completely. main.asm is the right entrypoint. If you want to use the make.sh file, make sure to adapt these pathes to your specific setup. If you're using the VSCode Template, you're probably good to go already.
