“[プレイ途中] Zachtronics系のプログラミングパズル。SHENZHEN I/Oなんかに近い。普通のプログラムに見えて、変数ではなく個数と型が制限されたレジスタを扱うほか、一行に1つしか演算ができないなどの制約がある。厳つい見た目だが、その他の制約は少なめで意外ととっつきやすい。問題内容とあわせて、DOSマシン時代のプログラミングの原体験を思い出させるような内容だ。”

About This Game



1984, february.
outside, it's dark. -and raining.
it might have started five minutes or five days ago.
hard to tell.
I've been coding.
if I stare at the screen long enough
answers come to me.
that's my super power.
outside, the city is sleeping.
but the caret is blinking at me.
and this new disk I got,
it's brutal.
