Despre acest demo

Solve programming puzzles on a fictional computer with radio-based communication and unique limitations. Competitively optimize to compete on leaderboards against friends and the global community.

Note: Though featuring programming and set in a time when quantum physics was the hip new thing, nothing related to modern "quantum computing" is included in this game.

From your friends at QuantumPulse Ltd we are excited to introduce the brand new QuantumPulse 2A Professional Computer and Visualization Interface: The most powerful device releasing in '77! With its novel on-chip radios, hi-tech BBS interface, and exclusive hardware addons, the QP-2A is sure to win your heart and mind. Compete against your friends in programming challenges to earn GOLD STARS! And ACT FAST: The first to complete the certification course will receive a complimentary unopened pack of traditional Kostovian playing cards.

Disclaimers: All of the above statements are classified as Marketing-Truth as per the Truth in Marketing Act of 1973. Friends need not be real. Stars contain no real gold. Manual may have been damaged, lost, or censored during international shipping.

• Gameplay primarily involves programming in an assembly language (with a tutorial, no assembly language experience required, though coding experience is helpful)
  
• This Shareware version contains 4 of the 25+ programming puzzles in the full version - many are easy to solve, difficult to optimize
  
• See how your solutions stack up against your friends' or globally on the leaderboards for each of run-time, lines of code, and cost of components
  
• Make use of a unique fictional computing device where all communication is done by broadcasting to radio channels, and all conditional operators test values broadcast from other chips
  
• No quantum computing involved, the unique limitations come from parallelism and synchronization challenges
  
• Integrated debugger (with time rewinding), syntax checking, and quick language reference
  
• Full reference manual
  
• Solitaire minigame, like all good Zach-likes
  
• Even the full version is DRM-free
  
• Note: MS-DOS support is limited to the command-line interpreter only, Windows 10+ or other supported operating system is recommended
