📝 Assembly barcode generator (code39 specification)

Project for my university course in which the task was to build a program in MIPS assembly that will encode a provided string in form of a barcode. The program had to generate a bitmap (.bmp file) containing a correctly encoded barcode (according to code39 specification) based on a provided string of characters and the pixel width of the narrow bar.

Usage

In order to run the program, you need to follow these instructions:

1. Obtain the Mars simulator (an integrated environment for running MIPS assembly written in java) available here.
2. Run the mars simulator.
3. Open the file src/barcode_generation.asm.
4. Compile and run.
5. (Alternatively, instead of running the program in gui mode, one may run it through the console by issuing command java -jar Mars4_5.jar src/barcode_generation.asm).
6. Generated file will be located in out/output.bmp.
