addedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rs3PHyB17A We just launched a new mini-game that teaches important fundamental skills, including x86/x64 registers, pointers, segfaults, and addressing. We've only launched a few levels, and it's not super polished yet. (This is early-access after all). Sound FX are missing, there are a few minor glitches/bugs, etc. We'll be pushing out daily updates for the next week adding new levels and fixing these issues. Our next steps are: - OSX build will go live on 5/7 - Release more levels daily - Polish this mini-game and fix the known bugs* - Get our Linux build up to date, as it's lagging behind OSX/Windows - Revisit the gameplay for the Cipher mini-game. We pulled it because it was hard and honestly not very fun - Continue working on story-mode. ---------- * Some of the known bugs: - Leaving a level in Pointer Trace sometimes doesn't work. Workaround is to exit via the 'esc' menu. - Music volume/tracks can get reset when changing scenes - Deadlock when starting story-mode on some machines - Crashes on startup on some machines. ---------- This mini-game made it to #1 on r/programming! We're glad this mini-game was well recieved, and we'll continue to put out content that you all enjoy. https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/bks7av/squally_new_minigame_to_teach_x86x64_registers/
