lmao i failed at reading the docs so its kinda moot i was sad about not having shift because i thought i didn't have a mult, so i beat one of the tutorials by repeating adds instead of using the mult command lol

it is bullshit that mark is a pseudo instruction that doesnt count for cycles but it still counts for size

Someone should make a game that is connecting logic gates and flip-flops together to solve similar puzzles.

one thing id like to see is more advanced tools in later levels. in these games sure you unlock things as you go but they’re theoretically available from the start like advanced exa with more registers or something idk just rambling

Jabor posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/684270/Silicon_Zeroes/ its good enough, probably worth $5 when its on sale unless you just like computers. the mediocre part is you build all the basic parts of a computer, then you move up to turning complete systems, and youve essentially peaked and from there it’s just making tiny improvements theres no psudo realist world rules to learn or goofy story like a zachtronics original echinopsis posted:one thing id like to see is more advanced tools in later levels. in these games sure you unlock things as you go but they’re theoretically available from the start i really wish there was a non blocking multicast command where every exa listening to M each get the same value in the same tick.

Jabor posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/684270/Silicon_Zeroes/ Okay I beat the first two worlds (building a CPU at the end of the second one is super fun) and am halfway done with the third (high speed design, where latency is a real thing). The puzzles are super fun, and some are way trickier, but overall the progression is super fast since most puzzles take all of 10 seconds to figure out.

okay, these new puzzles seem to have some insane challenges, it's pretty awesome e: what am i missing with bonus mission 4? the histograms seem to be way faster than me... Jabor fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Sep 18, 2018 |

really proud of the horrible hack that made my solution to the final main campaign puzzle possible. needed to somehow provide a global timer/lock to avoid two exas broadcasting at the same time make file t wipe unique autoincrementing sequences

funny little turing machines enjoying it so far, very satisfying i don't feel the need to hyper optimize as much as in opus magnum opus, pretty happy to make the top quartile

finished it  but i'm missing some trick on the high school bonus level i barely managed to fit into the size limit and it's slow as hell too, in the histograms everyone else uses half the size :\

The puzzles are super fun, and some are way trickier, but overall the progression is super fast since most puzzles take all of 10 seconds to figure out. I tried to make the game accessible to people who didn't have experience in the field. That means that many of the levels are going to be very easy if you have worked with CPU design, or computer stuff generally. There are plenty of levels that should be pretty tricky regardless, especially in the 'side puzzles' section, but I'd probably balance things differently if I made the game again. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the game! (I know this response is pretty late; only saw the thread now.) PleasingFungus fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Nov 25, 2018 |
