About This Game

TO BE CLEAR: YOU NEED TO BE SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR WITH HOW PROGRAMMING WORKS IN ORDER TO ENJOY THIS GAME.

1000-BIT is an open-ended programming puzzle game (a "zach-like"), featuring a fictional high-level programming language. Your goal is to write functions similar to the ones below, such as: basic arithmetic, bitwise operations, mean and mode, running sum, and other fun math stuff.

The catch? Everything – everything – is in binary.

How do you calculate square roots in binary? That's up to you to figure out.

Short snippet of code in the 1000-BIT programming language

Going through the campaign defragments files that can help you unravel what happened to the employee you're tasked with replacing.

Every level has a WORDS and STEPS par that you can optimize for: this unlocks toys such as new fonts, text colors, visual effects, typing sounds and such.

There are now also 11000 bonus levels featuring decimal and string variables (yeah it kinda defeats the purpose of a binary-only programming language, but it's still pretty fun and fresh) once you beat the main campaign.

If you've enjoyed the likes of TIS-100, COMET 64, A=B, SIC-1, SHENZHEN I/O, you might like this game.
