3-4 The binary Multiplier
I spent more time on this chapter then on all previous chapters alltogether.
Do I miss something? Is there an easier way to multiply binary numbers? Because the way I know is too complex to implement with the tools game provides.
Maybe a tip?

I used the shift and add algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_multiplier), with to integrators for looping.

multiplying binary number is just the same as multiplying base 10 number.

I've done it with score of 480 and 54 step.

I just said "screw it" and made looped addition. Horribly slow and very complex, but i was absolutely done with that puzzle and just wanted to get further

Well, thank you, I managed to pass this chapter. While link you provided described the very same method I wastrying to implement - it was explained there at different angle, which gave me idea for algorythm and it worked! :)

i used my program from the binary adder, one level earlier, and adjusted it to use row 1 and 3 foe the addition, had to add a set to 0 tile, and then print it onto row 3. followed with a section to move the frames to the appropriate places, and to skip over any 0 on line 2, before looping back to the adder.
