Project identity

Single-file x86 assembly (MASM32) Windows console casino game with retro 2.5D raycaster engine. Source: poker.asm (~8500 lines). Python scripts are offline tools for asset generation and previewing animations — not part of the game runtime itself.

The game runtime must remain assembly-only: rendering, gameplay, animation, input, networking, and any future platform ports must be implemented in assembly. Do not add a C/C++ core, a second non-assembly game implementation, or a compiler fallback that substitutes one for the MASM executable. Offline asset generators and tests are not the game runtime. The existing C# packaging utilities must not be described as assembly code.

Directory Structure

• Root: Core MASM32 game (poker.asm, casino3d.inc, casino3d_data.inc, font8x8.inc, build.bat, poker.exe).
• dist/: Compiled desktop distribution launchers (Assembler Casino.exe, Uninstall Assembler Casino.exe).
• build/: C# source code for launchers and installers.
• tools/: Internal developer tooling and pipelines:
  • tools/previews/: Terminal ANSI animation and 3D engine previews (preview_intro.bat, preview_hakari.bat, preview_dbd_hook.bat, preview_casino3d.bat).
  • tools/generators/: Offline asset compilers, math lookup tables, and assembly generators.
  • tools/tests/: Render simulation (simulate_render.py), release smoke checks, and achievement popup helpers.
• assets/: Media files (audio .wav, ANSI .ans, textures .bin, icons).
• docs/: Documentation, cheat codes, ideas backlog, and technical guides.
• backups/: Historical archives and pre-feature checkpoints.

Build

• Assembler: ml /c /coff /Cp /nologo poker.asm
• Link: link /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /RELEASE /VERSION:4.0 /LIBPATH:"<MASM32>\lib" poker.obj kernel32.lib winmm.lib user32.lib ws2_32.lib gdi32.lib
• IDE project: poker.wap (Pelles C/Windows)
• Libraries: kernel32.lib, winmm.lib, user32.lib, ws2_32.lib, gdi32.lib
• Build script: build.bat (uses MASM32 from D:\MASM32\masm32 or MSVC BuildTools)

Requires MASM32 toolchain or MSVC BuildTools (ml.exe, link.exe).

Encoding

• Source strings, dealer_phrases.txt: CP1251 (Windows-1251). Do not re-save as UTF-8.
• .ans animation files: ANSI escape codes + CP1251, frames separated by form feed (\f, 0x0C).
• Preview scripts run chcp 65001 before printing.

Assets

File	Purpose
assets/animations/casino_intro.ans	Animated intro (skippable with Enter, loops at @@LOOP@@ marker)
assets/animations/hakari_dance.ans	Animated dance on jackpot win
assets/animations/dbd_hook.ans	Dead by Daylight hook skill-check mini-game animation
assets/data/dealer_phrases.txt	CP1251, each line prefixed `W
assets/textures/casino3d-hd.bin	Packed 48 slots (128×128 BGRA) 3D raycaster textures

Workflow

• Git remote: https://git.silverstone.crazedns.ru/Billi_Bob/KAZIK.git (branch main).
• Backups in backups/ follow: poker_before_<feature>_<YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS>.{asm,exe}
• No tests. Manually verify by running poker.exe.
• Preview animations: tools/previews/preview_hakari.bat / tools/previews/preview_intro.bat (or python tools/previews/preview_hakari.py directly).
