Props to the editor for drawing out your plan so cleanly

Tyler's hair looked really good in blue. The editor did a fantastic job.

Yes! I really hope this becomes a series along with the sequel, 7 Billion Humans

Most programming games are only indirectly related to real computer programming, but this game is just straight up assembly programming. Definitely one of the more intimidating programming games I've tried.

How can a single KZfaqr do such a variety of games and keep me engaged it's mystical

Tyler-these puzzles get *mega tricky* later on and more complex objectives are introduced. I'm super excited to see you play more of this game!

Is it just me or did Tyler’s hair look really good when it was blue?

I really liked this game when I played it a few years ago. I never finished it, but I got to like 90%. The last few levels were too hard for me, but I really enjoyed getting as far as I got! One thing I really like about this game is how the kind of code it has you write is actually strikingly similar to how low-level assembly code for real computers works!

As a developer this is actually super relaxing watching someone else do it rather than me. Keep going Tyler! I really love your content.

Oh, i remember this game.. Was it.. 7 years ago?.. Classic

9:54 Currently doing a lot of ARM assembly coding and yeah, I can confirm that branching over a bunch of lines at the start of the loop and only branching back when you need to is a bit counterintuitive but definitely more efficient. Also use conditional jumps as the looping jumps where you can, it means that the loop automatically exits whenever a condition isn't satisfied, which will save you a jump statement.

This is an ingenious way to teach people how assembly language works - every command so far has an equivalent in ASM. Honestly, I would love to see this little game used as an introduction to programming in elementary schools.

It’s so weird actually knowing how to code watching one of these videos

This editor is freaking dope and the subtle things they do really make the videos a lot more enjoyable than they already were. Thank you editor ❤️

I think hair dye is the next steam purchase for Tyler considering how good the hair looked in blue.

Fun fact: The jump is essentially just a goto statement, a simpler yet less sophisticated way to loop your program. Also, the way the floor has tiles that are indexed perfectly mimicks an array.

I loved the picture of Tyler with blue hair, he should bring that back in the future!

I played this game through about 5-6 years ago. Loved it.

I'm taking an Assembly class and we just went over looping and decision-making 28 hours ago... The logic you have to use here is nearly identical to assembly! (Although you don't need 30 lines to do "Hello World" in this game)

On the topic of "putting code in the beginning and then jumping over it." Jumps in general are bad practice in high level languages due to dramatic loss of readability. Instead we just use loops, as you may know loops are jumps but with the inability to jump to different locations over and over. It either jumps "in" on a true condition or jumps out on false. Your code is essentially: while(notDone) { If(!firstTime) { //"skipped code" } //"not skipped code" } This pattern really doesn't need to look this way. The 2nd block of code always runs first and the first block of code always runs second, this reduces readability. It should reverse the order and run the 2nd block first: While(notDone) { //"not skipped code" //"skipped code" } If you want to make sure "skipped" code doesn't get run an additional time on the last iteration, you can check if last and break. This may cause a couple more lines of code to be run (checking conditions) but it improves readability by making the order the code will execute clear. Of course... this game is mimicking low level assembly code with the jump and branching commands. The lower the language the more efficient you want the code to be readability is prioritized AFTER speed and memory usage. tl;dr: those skipping the beginning code loops are fine in the type of language this game emulates, but not in higher level languages.

We need to have this series finished! Watching this game was such a blast from the past

As someone who is trapped inside the basement, can confirm Tyler's hair looks really cool when it's blue

I hope you do an entire series on this. I love this game and would love to see you go through the puzzles

This is a great game to watch. One of my first I watched in it’s entirety. The story is not bad so it’s a shame your missing it And yes it gets harder and more interesting while introducing more mechanics of a similar quality

9:55 putting code in the beginning and jumping over it is how a lot of low level languages work, most famously C. They just hide the initial jump by declaring a "main" function that the compiler uses as the destination for the entry jump. Given that this game is basically Assembly it makes sense you'd do the same here.

Comp sci student here, good game. Reminds me of the jankiness of assembly. The player is a register, the floor is a memory address, input output is io.

I love how this game calls it jump and not loop, reminds me of assembly! It even has the "reversed" branches!

This game is pretty much assembly programming. If I remember correctly, the sequel, 7 Billion Humans is about parallelised (aka. multi-threaded) programming.

Oh my god I have played this game so many hours and never once finished it, I was so hyped when I saw that you are playing it!

More top notch content from Tyler’s editors. That joke about being locked in the basement was hilarious. Also, on a completely unrelated note, the blue hair is a good look for Tyler. Very cool.

This assembly is old school. The NASA Apollo Flight Computer in the 1960s had a more full-featured programming language.

This does give me world of good vibes, i used to played that game everyday at the library

The editing is always on point ! Amazing video quality, keep on (Aliens)rockin' !

You should play a game called "Pawnbarian". Its like chess, mixed with a rougelike, mixed with a card game. Pretty fun too. I think you would enjoy it.

Hey Tyler, the Steam community for this game are doing a hive mind thing where they're looking for the MOST efficient ways to run the level. Some of the later ones can go FAR below the requirements.

Such a good game, enjoying seeing you give it a spin, and can’t wait till some of the later levels.

I'd love to see you play this game further. Last time I played, I wasn't nearly good enough at programming to complete it, and I'm not sure I would be now.

I do quite enjoy this game! I hope to see more of it!

Man, these editors are killing it, they always pull the giggles outta me

Thank you for the video Tyler and editors!

After you finish this game, there a sequel called “7 Billion Humans” which is a similar game but your code gets executed by multiple humans simultaneously instead of just the one. Basically just multithreaded code.

Oooh this looks like such a cool idea for a puzzle game

I'd love to see more of this game!

Ah I have fond memories of playing this game years ago. I remember that I kept getting stuck, and after caving once and looking it up I kept doing it. I remember the last one I actually did was the Fibonacci one and I felt so extremely proud of my self

this is quite reminiscent of assembly programming; i like it!

This game is like programming in Assembly The floor are like registers, and you can store and load

Love this game. What a classic

Please keep playing I've never been able to finish the last levels!

Would love to see more seems like quite a fun game to optimize and play around with

Would love to see you finish this, tried this game myself a couple years ago but never managed to get past the later levels

After the TV said "an army of machines has surrounded the city" I was expecting you to say "that's not good for the economy."

LOVE this game! Please play more Tyler!! (also the sequel 7 Billion Humans is really fun)

I need more of this game. It’s so satisfying

Edging us on the Vampire survivor... evil

Absolutely love this game and the developer, too! I wish it could turn into a series.

OK but what are the odds I JUST installed this on my phone again for the first time in years and Tyler here goes and uploads a video about it?!

10/10 editing I didn't even realize it wasn't part of the game lol

I LOVE this game spent HOURS trying to find the best solutions

Good to see older games like this. I have a feeling SpaeChem would be one game you would enjoy as well.

Oh boi I have been waiting for this one for a LONG time. I hope you gonna finish it, and it won't be just another 1 time wonder... :)

cant believe you did all that with your mind, i feel like i need the visual guide just to comprehend it

I know its overplayed but I always love watching a fun run on peglin

This game brings back memories. My IT teacher may or may not have torrented the game for me.

We all wait "7 Billion human" after that game

Tye-dye Tyler needs to be a thing

Yes, this series of games is so cool!

I really hope he keeps playing it and gets to the really hard levels at the end

Ah yes I love this game! Can't wait for you to play more!

This is giving me flashbacks to my computer architecture course.

Please do more of it. I like this game very much

8:46 IRRELIGIOUS!

Love this game. Hope to see more of it c:

This looks like a fun one! Looking forward to more :)

A lot of this game's "optimization" is to have the page wrap-around instead of your most often used go-to command.

Isn’t the creator also the one that made that game which you burn things?(Little Inferno) They just have a such distinct art style

Really liked this game. Please keep going.

Now Tyler needs to play 7 billion humans after this

You mentioned the creators made World of Goo, but the artstyle so looks a bit like Little Inferno. Same creators?

If you hac the "if zero, jump" you could further optimize the Octoplier by adding an if zero, jump to the outbox because 0*8=0.

Man, I don't know what it is about Tyler today, maybe it's the blue hair but it really gets me going.

ty tyler for selling your soul to the corporate ladder, very cool!

Yeah gonna need more of this

I forgot they made world of goo, i just remembered Little Inferno when i saw you post this video!

DUDE! I remember NerdCubed playing this back in the day, so many memories. Awesome game.

Please do every level in this game. I’d love to watch you do it.

I never thought he'd play Human Resource Machine!

Thank you for considering my and probably others' suggestion!

One game I'd like to see Tyler play after this is Little Inferno, mostly just because of the story, the gameplay gets a bit boring with the wait timers, and the puzzles aren't the hardest, but it's still a pretty and enjoyable game ^.^

Man I must be on something, I could have sworn Tyler had played HRM or 7 billion humans before on his channel.

Omg aliensrock I THANK YOU SO HARD "World of goo" was my childhood game on my tablet After my tablet broke, I didn't remember the game's name and it was lost for me I searched 1 MONTH and I couldn't find it BUT YOU, YOU SHOWED ME THE NAME NOW I CAN PLAY IT :) You deserve my repsect Aliensrock (And also your videos are cool)

Love to see more slice and dice

Coder weighing in! The jump command is interesting, it combines if-statements and methods (aka functions) into a single concept. I like it!

putting code in front and jumping over is basically making your own functions, good practice indeed 👍.

I love how this programming puzzle game make players code assembly language, which is every computer doing in their basic level.

This game and its sequel are excellent, especially the second game! Hope you play both through, but if the first gets old, don't skimp on the second!

Please finish this game! The last few are quite tough!

Hope to see more of this :)

Daily shoutout to editor. Great work as usual.

They made world of goo and little inferno, which are both incredible games

OMG Tyler's hair was amazing in blue!!
