About This Game

Learn CPU architecture with puzzles

In this game, you can…

  • …build a working CPU starting from a single NAND gate.
  • …design your own instruction set, choose the opcodes, and write programs in your own assembly language.
  • …install a keyboard, monitor, sound, network, and a file reader that can pull bytes from your real computer into the simulated machine.

About This Game

TIS-100 is an open-ended programming game by Zachtronics, the creators of SpaceChem and Infinifactory, in which you rewrite corrupted code segments to repair the TIS-100 and unlock its secrets. It’s the assembly language programming game you never asked for!

In this game, you can…

  • …print out a real reference manual, then use it to solve the menu that turns out to be the first puzzle.
  • …split one problem across 12 nodes running at once, coordinating them until the outputs line up in the right order.
  • …build your own games inside the machine using a visual console sandbox after you repair enough corrupted segments.

About This Game

Zachtronics is back with an ambitious new design-based puzzle game. Take on the role of a Reactor Engineer working for SpaceChem, the leading chemical synthesizer for frontier colonies. Construct elaborate factories to transform raw materials into valuable chemical products!

In this game, you can…

  • …connect multiple reactors so one puzzle becomes an entire production chain with pipes feeding outputs into the next step.
  • …pack a full solution into a tiny reactor by shaving parts, rerouting, and ending on a precise manual switch sequence.
  • …use flip-flops and timing rules to build counters and branching behavior that makes your reactor act like a program.
