CHIPCODE
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Made for the Alakajam #8 in February 2020, by ratrogue from Rat King.
CHIPCODE is a small coding game, but with nodes. Right now it has only 3 simple tasks, if there's interest more might be coming soon. Don't forget to read the manual - hopefully you didn't lose it!
Used fonts: Telegrama, EnvyCodeR
PS: I forgot to describe the IFZ chip in the "manual". It checks if a MA_ chip is 0 and redirects the flow if not.

Good game, but I noticed two issues which made me loose my mind a little bit until I realised them.
ADD - takes variable inputs, but just fiddling around with the connections can give the false sense that any connection point can only have a single connection. At first I thought it added the input address to the output address, which would be inline with the INC/DEC commands, so it was weird when it seemed to just move the data.
RUN - this node has a “next instruction” connection which can be connected to with no sign of error, but doesn’t actually create a loop as one might initially expect, combined with me connecting IFZ to it made me confused about how IFZ works.
Can u make Android port cuz game looks interesting
But where is the manual?
Uh oh, I hope you didn't lose it?
I think i just not get it in first place at all lol. Where can i get it please ?
Well, I think the manual is out of print. But you can try the somewhat obscure notes in the PDF that should be in the same location as the application.
I DID IT! :D
Not sure if you are adding more to this or not, but for suggestions:
Heya,
congrats on beating the game! Thank you for playing!
I'm currently not developing this further, but maybe a different game will use the mechanic - feedback is helpful in any case :)
I dont suppose you could provide an arm-linux download as well (RPi, but generic armv7 would be fine)
