Anyone managed to solve the second last challenge, the sorting challenge yet? I know what I must do but there are so many communication pathways that will cross through each other to make it viable that I don't even know where to start.

I should really go back and modify some solutions so they use JRO. Way too many of my solutions stash things in BAK just so I can receive a flag from another node and branch on it.

Orthogonalus posted:I fit the niche for this game perfectly. Until the last row. gently caress the last row forever. If you just want to open the final level, do the division one. You've supposedly already done multiplication, so you "just" have to do the opposite. If you want to 100% the last row...well...

zedprime posted:Those were probably the most fun I had. If a puzzle deserved to die (or preferably be gentler with node placement) its sequence sorter. I think Sequence Sorter has been changed slightly - I seem to recall the lower right node was corrupted before, but now it's a normal node. Still trying to figure out how I'm gonna solve it, though. (I also did the new task, Signal Window Filter, without any stacks. But I kinda cheated)

And I finally solved Sequence Sorter. It was really hard to cram everything into place, three of my nodes have 14 instructions and two have 13 and 12 instructions respectively.

I see some people with like 2000 cycle prime detectors. How is that possible? A filter that just checks all known primes below 999?

Speaking of friends lists, anyone want to become my friend so we can compare scores? http://steamcommunity.com/id/threedotonefour/ edit: I pressed "ignore" on one of you by accident and I don't recall the name. If you sent me an invite and didn't get accepted, try again. ymgve fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Jun 11, 2015 |

Sequence sorter is in my opinion the hardest problem in the game. (Even harder than the Prime Detector and Scatter Plot Viewer problems that were removed) My general algorithm became this: 1. Init stacks 2. Get input value 3. If zero, goto 7 4. Move all values from stack A to stack B, inserting the input value at the right point 5. Move all values from stack B to stack A 6. Goto 2 7. Output all values from stack A 8. Goto 1 This sub-optimal solution takes 77 instructions and three of the seven instruction blocks have 14 instructions each. I use a lot of back-and-forth communication and state machine like stuff, but it works (As long as no inputs are 999) ymgve fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Jul 7, 2015 |

I just saw someone else proposing a different algorithm that might be better, too: 1. Pump everything into stack A until you get a 0 2. Move everything from stack A to stack B, and detect the lowest number and output it 3. Move everything from stack B to stack A, but remove the number detected in step 2 4. If stack empty, goto 1. Else, goto 2

Cheating is still possible, as I have someone on my leaderboard with 31 cycles on T31 Node Emulator.

I assume Zach is finished with the game - it is a pretty small game and seems more of a side project he did while working on Infinifactory. I wonder if this pen-and-paper thing hints about his next game - something related to biochemistry?

Huh, so according to Linkedin he's not at Valve anymore? I guess their philosophy of not releasing games became too much for him.

"slp" sounds like "sleep", whatever that means
