I’m the kind of developer who wishes he had opinions on microprocessors. But honestly, the only assembly language I’ve ever been good at was TIS-100. #tis100 #zachtronics
I started playing with #tis100 again, after a break of 7 years or so. It's as addictive as before.
I read about the K* languages recently with their APL-like density allowing whole (non-trivial) programs to fit in a single screen and now (fully acknowledging the difference in complexity) I believe that at least a part of TIS's appeal is just that: having a context in which there's no editor to speak of, no tabs, no files. Just staring at your code and building mental models for it.
Completed the initial missions in #tis100. Interesting game. The restrictions are more than you see in #MarvellousInc and the multiple processors is interesting. Started #exapunks. You can definitely see the tis-100 evolution.

My #Steam activities happen mostly during the hols. Here's what I've been playing:
- #AxiomVerge: developed by a close friend's relative. Looks promising altho' I haven't gotten far
- #TIS100: programming game using an assembly-esque lang. Fun!
- #Epistory: there's something oddly satisfying about killing creepy crawlies by typing furiously. I can't aim & shoot to save my life but I'm a mean typist
- Hook, Lyne, and Sinkr: a bundle of puzzle games. I'm a sucker for such games. They relax me.
