It’s a game where you use something closely resembling a highly reduced Assembly Language instruction set to accomplish various “simple” tasks. “Simple” in quotes because I just spent a sleepless night figuring out how to multiply–and my solution is probably the most inelegant, hamfisted plodding solution imaginable.
Anyone else played this game?
I played TIS-100 until it made my head hurt, which unfortunately wasn’t very far along. I got to the part where I had to buffer a value in a neighboring CPU. I don’t think I have enough brainpower for this game.
I actually downloaded it from Steam a couple years ago. I remember loving it, but only got through about the first five puzzles before I got distracted by life and forgot to get back to it. Thanks for the reminder!
I had looked at the Shenzhen game that is kind of sequel to this, but I didn’t purchase it.
So I thought I’d start with the $6 game today and bought TIS-100.
The first puzzle only took me about 20 minutes to do, and that includes time reading thru the manual (I actually printed it out).
The second puzzle has me flummoxed already tho, after about 10 minutes. I’ll figure it out, but it sure seems like it should be the real simple solution I first tried and not what I’m afraid I’m going to have to do.
Can we agree to spoil any answers or hints that people may feel compelled to share?
