Let's Quickly Play - TIS 100

TIS-100 is an open-ended programming game by Zachtronics, the creators of SpaceChem and Infinifactory, in which you rewrite corrupted code segments to repair the TIS-100 and unlock its secrets. It’s the assembly language programming game you never asked for!

Thanks for giving this a shot! I hadn't even looked at the puzzle editor yet, so that was new to me. (And of course you included the game's "map" editor, as you often do.) I love that it's really just a Lua program.

I watched some of your Game Maker tutorials a couple years back. Seeing that it has a little graphical programming language built into it, I thought maybe this would tickle the same part of your brain in some way.

A few years ago, Notch, the Minecraft guy, was planning a game called 0x10c which would in part be oriented around assembly programming. You would need to program your own spaceship. He developed a full machine spec (DCPU-16) with keyboard input, graphics, memory addressing, instruction latencies, etc. But it was all abandonded when he retired. So finally here's a real game, TIS-100, being the programming game nobody asked for.

For the second segment, you get the lower cycle count by parallelizing. Pass one value down and then one right, have them doubled and sent out as normal.

When I saw the title I thought you were going to speedrun through this game, which would've been much more impressive.

ACC stands for ACCumulator, since that's where you 'accumulate' arithmetic results.

Very unique idea but I doubt it suits general audience.

although you have the sexiest voice alive, no homo, i'm going to go read calculus for fun, after this.
