Oct 30, 2017 7:11am Hi. I just saw your comment on F.P.S. You were trying to match my levels scores. On level 1-3 a 5 instruction sequence can draw one red along the diagonal. 8 instructions can fix yes/no. The tricky bit is probably optimizing the loop/goto control flow in the remaining instructions. Level 1-4: The key feature of the level is the 10x space sequence. … show moreHi. I just saw your comment on F.P.S. You were trying to match my levels scores. On level 1-3 a 5 instruction sequence can draw one red along the diagonal. 8 instructions can fix yes/no. The tricky bit is probably optimizing the loop/goto control flow in the remaining instructions. Level 1-4: The key feature of the level is the 10x space sequence. It would be almost impossible to match my high score based on direct planning of code. Sometimes general experimental exploration is a great way to discover new things. In particular, I experimented with weird arrangements of goto/loop instructions. I stumbled across an extremely efficient code-sequence that happens to result in a 5x repeat. The logic is probably too weird to create-by-planning. I had to “discover” it rather than “design” it. Once I discovered 5x repeat code was easy to get an efficient 10x repeat. show less

well i made it in 22 blocks now, by using additional loop that repeats diagonal loop 3 times:) Still have something to improve, and well, dead-simple solution might be dead-simple after you found it:)… show morewell i made it in 22 blocks now, by using additional loop that repeats diagonal loop 3 times:) Still have something to improve, and well, dead-simple solution might be dead-simple after you found it:) show less

Based on the high score table it looks like you’ve only beaten the first five(?) levels. I’m not sure you’ve learned what you need to know to match my high score for this level yet. You probably need to play at least a bit further. And in general, aiming for the high score on each level in sequence is going to be hopeless. I learned/discovered/developed a lot of techniques as I worked through all of the levels. I very often took advanced techniques from high levels back down to earlier levels to optimize my scores. After beating all levels, I repeatedly went back to each level erratically pushing the scores better bit-by-bit. At a minimum you should do a few more levels before trying to match my level 3 score. And even better, you should just keep doing levels until you’re inspired to go back to level 3 with a specific idea. I very strongly urge you not to even attempt to match my level 4 score any time soon. It needs an extremely weird bit of code for my solution. You’re seriously better off just playing the game as a whole, making reasonable effort to do well on each level, then moving to the next one. Only go back to level 4 when you’re jumping around various solved-levels pushing hard-optimization. show less

Yes, thats exactly what i decided to do now:) Level are challenging enough even without optimization attemts, so it is a good way to go:) |
