There's something about reverse engineering a game about engineering tho...

It's totally allowed.

14 carefully-curated assembly instructions on an 8-bit microcontroller could play better dota than you, scrub

Yeah I thought something like "teq 1 1" would only do the + statements and "teq 1 0" would only do the - statements

well...that's true, because 1 is always equal to 1, and 1 is never equal to 0.

I sort of just skimmed the list of commands apparently.

you'll make a hell of an assembly coder someday kid

Way to destroy your condition flags, I used two dx300s, did:
mov x0 acc
mul 2
add x1

Infinifactory is worth $3.

That feel in Infinifactory where your design works for the first several units and then a subtle timing error fucks u

Also the converse feeling where the parts collide and it seems hosed and by some miracle it's hosed in a way that everything still works and you briefly feel like a genius optimizer instead of a guy juggling plates and tripping while tossing the plates through the output.

You can route wires under chips - hold down tab.

Someone please figure out how to get under 150 on remote kill switch and then hint at it gently to me, lah

Most people on my list have 400+ for that one, not too bad. I was stuck there for awhile until a lightbulb turned on. Now I gotta find out how someone did it in under 130.

Power is just number of instructions executed in the worst test case.

Definitely no peeking - find that stuff yourself, it's more fun.

That said.... undocumented behavior owns, gently caress the spec.

Yeah it's definitely part of the game to find untested cases, that's a bit different from finding undocumented ways of using instructions. I think both are cool though.
