Description
TIS-100 is an open-ended programming game by Zachtronics, the creators of SpaceChem and Infinifactory, in which you rewrite corrupted code segments to repair the TIS-100 and unlock its secrets. It’s the assembly language programming game you never asked for!
  • Print and explore the TIS-100 reference manual, which details the inner-workings of the TIS-100 while evoking the aesthetics of a 1980’s computer manual!
  • Solve more than 40 puzzles, and then solve them again trying to minimize your cycle, instruction, and node counts.
  • Design your own challenges in the TIS-100’s 3 sandboxes, including a “visual console” that lets you create your own games within the game!
  • Uncover the mysteries of the TIS-100… who created it, and for what purpose?

I enjoyed it and hope to see more

Some of the puzzles are hard. Beating the others in optimization is much harder. Great product, great price.

Hard game to review...

... for one good reason : it's not a game. At least not a video game. So add 2 stars if you're a developper and you enjoy it, remove 2 stars oteherwise. So basically, if you are not a developper, if the terms JNE or Accumulator doesn't mean anything to you, just not buy it. You'll never understand anything, would be even more puzzled after finishing the game manual... you might eventually grasps some basis notions with some walkthrough but it's definitivly not worth the headaches.... if you want to leaarr programming just grab some tutos and be done ! If you're a developper you may find it enjoyable. It's a sort of simplified ASM environnement in which you have to solve logical problems. A sort of sudoku for dev... but much more enjoyable imho

A problem on Linux

The game is awesome, but... There's a problem with it on Linux - it always, as soon as the game is started, before any emulation begins, uses at least one CPU thread to the max. Thus one less star.
