Well, I'll be damned, someone did do it. Here's another month's license code for rating purposes: 015C00C8FAA01173B03533312122252A351A1BDB38CD1DC084E17265203335

I think I got it to run by downloading atanua etc. but it updated state pretty slowly.. slowly enough that I'm not entirely sure about the a-d-w keys. The restart does work intantly though. Respect for making an entry with such a different platform, fits the theme well. :D

Awesome, just awesome.

attagcatc 2013-04-29 23:26

Yeah unfortunately the frame rate is very low. To use the controls you need to hold the buttons down until the player moves, otherwise it won't work. I'll make that clearer in the description.

I really like the way this one looks, haha. Though I've downloaded this atanua thing...I really don't know what it is.

pinkerator 2013-04-30 09:46

Only using digital logic? :-O Wow!

tainted_code 2013-04-30 11:24

Really awesome! The atanua thing is strange... Must try it.

theawesomeprogrammer 2013-05-01 12:14

Why run through atanua thing is some weird shit!

cybearg 2013-05-01 19:24

That's pretty awesome! I can't say I saw any result from holding any of the keys down (aside from restart), but it's pretty awesome to have a game based on virtual chips and stuff.

Really nice! :)

attagcatc: you've given me reason to do some optimizations.. which is probably a good thing. Bad side: the optimizations needed aren't exactly trivial.. =)

In any case, I'm adding this to the Atanua distribution.

sol_hsa 2013-05-02 17:16

..you may want to email me a readme you want attached to it =)

attagcatc 2013-05-03 06:48

Glad to be of help =).

Wow, that was ambitious! I love that LD throws up really cool stuff like this, well done :D

You really took minimalism down to the bare wire.

vrld 2013-05-18 17:25

I take my hat off to you, sir or madam.

lorancou 2013-05-18 17:45

This certainly wasn't easy to run but I'm glad I tried it. This is probably how games were done in the 60's :P 5 stars in theme! Shame is, I sure can go left and right, but pressing W doesn't make me jump. Maybe this is normal, both keys seem to be plugged to the same pin!

Congratulations!

I can barely imagine how to begin thinking of considering doing something as awesome as that.

Your work is truly inspiring!

(And I thought I was hardcore writing a game in batch!)

Minimalistic in two ways really, simple game and no actual computer required if you were to build it as an actual circuit (although it might need some tweaks to work in reality).
As an electronics hobbyist I find this especially interesting (and amusing), keep up the very good work! :D

paulsinnett 2013-05-20 18:16

I think this is my favourite so far in terms of pure minimalism. And thanks for introducing me to Atanua! I may get my students modelling some circuits in their course with this next year.
