Yet another excellent programming-style game from Zachtronics!

One of the few things I find a tad annoying about these games (TIS-100, SHENZHEN I/O, EXAPUNKS) is that they aren't more realistic in terms of assembly programming. There are often clever optimizations I just know I could do with real binary arithmetic, or a proper flags register, or different clock timings for different instructions, etc. But it's still a ton of fun and the histograms provide a strong incentive to optimize better than your friends and everyone else.

Also: I've spent an absolutely shameful amount of time in the solitaire minigame.
