i made a real blog

-

posting is hard because i have so few real thoughts in my head but i will, very abstractly, try and commit to making one "real" post a week (and any more if something happens that i want to talk about)

//

neocities was a silly idea maybe i will fuck around with it now and again but probably not much, but this is definitely much more approachable so i (kinda) believe in myself. i have to do my latin and philosophy homework now so goodbye but i guess this serves as my intro post so welcome, happy to be a Blogger™ now

revisiting EXAPUNKS part 0.5: instruction overview

hi! felt like punking and might as well blow through the tutorial as well as take this as an opportunity to give an overview of the basic mechanics of the game. i don't know if just linking the pdf to the manual is technically illegal cause you do only access it with a download of the game, so instead im just going to briefly type the legal commands and what they do, to serve as a key going forward. also: this will definitely assume some basic understanding of how assembly code is structured, its not too in-depth but you can just comment for a more "real" explanation (or maybe ill write that in a future post, who knows). this was going to be "quick walkthrough of what the EXAs do and then i get started" but i realized theres a lot more to explaining how they work than i remembered, so this is just an overview of all of the documentation for the EXAs and what they can do. enjoy! EXA INFO important knowledge: EXAs have only 4 memory registers (basically variable s...

 my genuine estimation of this part is that it will exclusively be me going back to TWN 4 and trying to optimize the M register and see what I can do, but who know, maybe this will be quicker than that. RETURNING TO TWN #4   just for a quick refresher, here is what we are working with, im not gonna explain it here, but my previous post went fairly in depth with how this is solved.    Also quick note on notation: X[letter] is used to reference the starting EXAs, XA, XB, XC, and so on. When an EXA makes a repl, that is denoted with [name]:[index] where index is the number of repls that EXA has made previously. Therefore, if one of your EXAs, XB, makes 2 repls, they will be called XB:0 and XB:1. This makes it easy to notate which EXAs are doing what at various points in the algorithm.   my basic plan for using the M register to write faster goes pretty much as follows: XA  move to outbox make a file read in from the m register to the new file will eventually ...
