More or less, yes. Here's my code for the level in the OP. The X register is a normal variable, the T register can store data like the X register except that when you run a test like it gets overwritten with a boolean. F is used when you're holding a file. M is the share variable for sharing data between EXAs.

>is zachtronic's newest game

Technically his newest release is the Zach-Like compilation, in which I've been playing KOHCTPYKTOP all afternoon. I've only made it about thirty pages into the book itself, but it does paint a picture of a young man with an anarchic perspective towards modern gaming.

I didn't realize they'd implemented a gif maker in Exapunks, that's nice to see, it's certainly more convenient than having to record MP4s on release. I still haven't returned to finish the bonus campaign, I think I still have 3-4 puzzles there, and a few unfinished Redshift games.

From the looks of the source code, you don't have functions and you have to lay out subroutines and use gotos like a real caveman (to be fair calling functions in C and whatever is just a 'safe' goto).

SQL is not really new, it's quite old, almost as old or older as C but not as old as assembly and basic. SQL is more closer to the syntax of assembly or basic.

On an unrelated note: If you ever want to choose a scripting language, look at Guile (or just dialects of LISP), minimal syntax because ((())) is all you need.

If you're not familiar, they came up with TIS-100 while trying to build a Z80-based computer for fun, and despite the fact that Exapunks hypothetically takes place in 1995(?) that assembly syntax isn't hugely changed. Shenzhen did something cool with its conditionals, but it was pretty similar as well.

I had an unfinished version of Pong that was functional except for the second player's AI, and a basic program to randomly generate terrain for a planned port of Lunar Lander that never came together.

The redshift has a Dpad and it calls the inputs from the direction pads x and y axis, respectively. The redshift is not the NES.

I don't want to hijack the thread, but has anyone played Конструктор and can provide some advice? As someone who was never required to take any electrical engineering courses, some of the later puzzles seem pretty intimidating, I heard that some outside knowledge can be helpful in the campaign.

Here's my power grid solution. 40 cycles on average, size of 45.
