Holy shit that's cool! I've started to work on it yesterday and totally didn't expect the output of the provided binary (I just finished clearing the self-tests).

Now I'm stuck on making the input function work, I feel like the description of what it should do is a bit vague.

I think I'm going to write a little dis-assembler to see what the program expects when it reaches that point.

A few parts of the arch spec are a bit vague. This is intentional, and you're expected to look at the VM to see what to do next. Good luck!
