description

Soviet Blok is a game created by Jack Eisenmann in which you drop blocks into an 8x4 grid and match 3 or more blocks in a row to earn points. Eisenmann has implemented this game on a variety of platforms, including a version for the TI-84 Plus written in TI-BASIC.

This version is written in Assembly, and as a result is much faster than the TI-BASIC version. I wrote it back in February of 2025, but neglected to publish it for almost a year. It is the first ever substantial assembly program I've written for the TI-84.
