A tiny Game Boy ROM written in SM83 assembly (RGBDS) that turns the CS-UY 2214: Computer Architecture and Organization (NYU Tandon) syllabus into a 16-slide deck, each slide typewriter-revealed one tile per frame. Built to run live on an emulator on the first day of class. A advances to the next slide, B goes back.
