#tis100 — Public Fediverse posts

Update: I have successfully solved Day One (both parts) in TIS-100, and it was of course very annoying but I did it, with a minimal wrapper script to inject input and run the program 184 times in a row to get the final answer. The whole run took 20 minutes (and 2.6 million cycles*) - not too shabby!

I don't think I'll be attempting anything beyond Day 1 with TIS-100, handling 10-digit integers would be...a feat. But here's my solution to day one:

I'll post a reply going over the details of how I even got the data into and out of TIS-100, because that's the funnest part, I think.

For context: TIS-100 is a puzzle game that gives you a _very_ limited assembly-like programming environment: the only values available are integers from -999 to 999, and the input for a given run is limited to 39 values, further limited to the range -99 to 999. The only math operations are addition and subtraction, and the "registers" available are minimal and spatial. It's...not an ergonomic environment, but it is a very interesting architecture.

* Sort of...see the last post in the thread below for details there!

A little peek at the bullshit I got up to yesterday.

Gibt es eigentlich einen Begriff dafuer an "vermeintlich" einfachen Aufgaben zu scheitern. Komplexe jedoch einfach so hinlegt? #TIS100

If you are having performance problems with TIS-100, mine was running at 11-12 FPS in full screen mode, try running it via Special K. That got me back up to ~72 FPS.

Just sped up my #TIS100 code with 20 NOPs

Completed the initial missions in #tis100. Interesting game. The restrictions are more than you see in #MarvellousInc and the multiple processors is interesting. Started #exapunks. You can definitely see the tis-100 evolution.

Tried out TIS-100. Figuring out the UI took a little bit. Niche product but I found it fun. Still need to try Exapunks. #tis100 #exapunks

@cybette I get this is an old toot, but are you still playing #tis100? I play it off and on, but keep getting stuck at the graphics part of the game

My #Steam activities happen mostly during the hols. Here's what I've been playing:

- #AxiomVerge: developed by a close friend's relative. Looks promising altho' I haven't gotten far

- #TIS100: programming game using an assembly-esque lang. Fun!

- #Epistory: there's something oddly satisfying about killing creepy crawlies by typing furiously. I can't aim & shoot to save my life but I'm a mean typist

- Hook, Lyne, and Sinkr: a bundle of puzzle games. I'm a sucker for such games. They relax me.
