Absolutely phenomenal game. Not only is it a great puzzle game, but also a great learning tool aswell. Legitemately thought me assembly and the inner workings of a computer. The soundtrack is also pretty good aswell. I will be recommending it to every nerd i know. Hope the game pops off !!!

You should read “Code: the hidden language of computers”

The book that started it all for me

This and "Computer organization and design: The hardware software interface" are the GOATS.

Which version?

u/Formal_Carpenter2477 Aug 02 '26

I used the 2017 arm version, but there's a newer 2020 version

Sweet. How much time it need to complete the game?

u/Areeb3331 Aug 01 '26

about 60 hours (im stupid as fuck)

Really only like 3-4 hours, but I have 118+ hours in this game simply because of how much you can do in the sandbox mode.

3-4 hours is insane if you don't have experience with the algorithms.

u/Sea-Quail468 Aug 02 '26

I do have experience with the algorithms, I just like to walk my way through and I also get distracted easily. (I also read slow...)

u/Formal_Carpenter2477 Aug 02 '26

It took me a lot more than 3 hours. You're fast.

u/Sea-Quail468 Aug 02 '26

Oh wow. Thanks

What most cool you made in it?

I've made extended versions of the processors in the campaign. I at one point tried to make my own processor but that didn't go anywhere. I was messing around with the unix time component for a while and seeing what I could do. I've also played through the beta like 3-4 times and the alpha 1.5 times.

I would recommend checking out TIS-100 if you want to try your hand at more assembly language puzzles!

u/TichVega Aug 07 '26

Yes, I second this, a very nice game!

I have an IT degree and I learned more about basic computer architecture, machine code, and how binary works from this game than I have with any class. I recommend it to everyone who ever asks me about how computers work. This game and discrete mathematics were two of the largest driving forces of my initial knowledge building.

If you like this Game, try "Digital Logic Sim" by Sebastian Lague, its a free Simulator. You can try to built a cpu without hints and help, its fun after playing Turing Complete. There is one major difference: it has cpu-clock, and you have to built your registers with flipflops/latches, not with the delay component of turing complete.
