EXAPUNKS

The year is 1997. You used to be a hacker, but now you have the phage. You made a deal: one hack, one dose. There’s nothing left to lose… except your life.

My Approach

This game has 3 metrics to measure your solution: cycles, size, and activity. I'll aim to get in to the TOP_PERCENTILE score in each category using the same codebase. This, however, may be impossible to achieve. Therefore, I am including a folder for each metric with a solution in each focusing on that objective alone.

Each solution folder with have a README with the following information:

  • Puzzle Title
  • Puzzle Description
  • Recorded .GIF Solution
  • Link to each metric's solution

If I can complete the task using the same codebase, I will mark the solution as Optimal.

The Metrics

Below are the definitions for the metrics, as far as the game is considered.

Cycles

Your cycles score is the number of turns it takes your EXA to complete the task.

Size

Your size score is the total number of instructions in all of your EXAs, including MARK pseudo-instructions.

Activity

Your activity score is the number of times EXAs you control execute LINK or KILL instructions.
