Attn ICJ: They came out with a new game on early access - TIS-100 by Entropy Stew 06/20/2015, 1:06am PDT
This thing is making steam come out of my ears. It's a game about programming in a very VERY basic sort of assembly language on an odd sort of DSP-ish kind of processor. Since ICJ is hacking vectrexen in his spare time I think he'd like this.

There is a graph showing cycles, nodes, and intructions used per solution which (I assume) is compared against other solutions from other users. You get a bar graph of where your solution falls on the continuum. I felt like HOT SHIT when I used a JGZ (jump if ACC is greater than zero) instruction to conditionally skip a NOP in order to skew timing to order a pair of numbers from least to greatest. Never have I felt so elated at such a microscopically small victory.
