Create and optimize programs that blend assembly language and radio-based communication.
Here is an excerpt from QuantumPulse 2A's Steam description:
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.
Features:
- Gameplay primarily involves programming in an assembly language (with a tutorial, no assembly language experience required, though coding experience is helpful)
- 25+ programming puzzles - 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
- Solving puzzles unlocks new puzzles and 7 different chips to use in only future puzzles - when you first open a puzzle, you will always have all of the same tools available as anyone else you see on the leaderboard
- 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
