A niche, fun game about programming in parallel in assembly. Interesting puzzles and very fertile hacking ground.

AWFUL game! I don't understand how this could possibly have Overwhelmingly Positive!
Who is this game for? It doesn't teach you anything. It just tests you. If you already know how to program, this is probably a bore. And if you do, you're just gonna be confused. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

I never thought that a game about programming in a new and foreign architecture could be so captivating! If you love puzzles, this is the game for you regardless of programming knowledge.

Рекомендую. Головоломки имеют превосходный баланс и кривая сложности хорошо сбалансирована.

Being unintelligent has never been so enjoyable

This game is responsible for my entire career.

really good vm. better than tmpOS 1.0

Unplayable because of display issues

This isn't just a game teaching you assembly programming. It's a puzzle. While the puzzles start out deceptively simple (no doubt for those not yet versed in assembly programming), they soon grow more complex and amusing, and the tesselation of the TIS-100 becomes relevant.

Each node contains extremely limited memory and a limited number of instructions. With hard limits on how much control flow you can stuff into each node, you'll eventually have to learn how to take advantage of the TIS-100's "tesselated" processing by dividing the work among nodes, especially if you want to try to write fast, elegant programs.

Whether you're a programmer or not, this is a playground for your brain. You might get all the way through and spend hours optimizing your programs for achievements and giggles, or you might get stuck after a few puzzles and walk away having learned at least the basics of what assembly programming looks like. The difficulty curve seems well-designed and should be fun for a variety of skill levels.
