I'm super new and really bad at Zachtronics games but I picked some up in the recent humble bundle and am having a lot of fun. Starting out with TIS-100 and have been banging my head on the Multiplexer for a good few hours due to not having enough space, only to discover that you can put labels and commands on the same line. Really should have read the manual more carefully :negative:

JRO...UP? :stare:

That looks really nice, but I'm definitely missing something with how the nodes communicate. How does MOV N, DOWN relate to the commands in the center node? (Assuming telling me doesn't make future puzzles too easy)

Also, thanks everyone for the responses! I think these games might be getting their hooks in me. I just finished the Sequence Generator after lying in bed thinking about it:



I'm sure it's clunky and has some pointless lines, but it felt pretty great seeing it work :unsmith:

Imagine if instead you had in the top node MOV N DOWN and then in the center node MOV UP ACC; JRO ACC. Does that make more sense?

Ohh, I think so. Interesting, thanks! I'll try copying it into the game to see it in action.

Edit: Holy crap, that's amazing!
