Oh god, please tell me how others did it.

Oh god, please tell me how others did it.

Congratulations. You'll have similar and harder challenges later, so we can't fully discuss here. Enjoy!

[DaymItzJack]

No, tell me!

haha, is there a 'It's a Smaller World' or 'It's the Smallest World'

I've been working on some string functions for working with HVM and in it's current iteration puts out code which is a !!!whole byte!!! shorter than DaymItzJack's:

Code: Select all

029+3*45*5*0^8+0^6+1^3+99*6+48*4^0^7^3-8^9+5^4-5^29+4*9^6^0^9^7-89*0^5?P09-g

My first solution used the same strategy as DaymItzJack's, doing the sum with a different number.

After, I've changed this method a little bit and managed to get the solution to this challenge down to 68 instructions. I think this method won't get me further though.

I've recently unlocked the next challenge in the series which requires getting this code down to 56 instructions.

Does anyone have a little hint about how to reduce this code even more?

[bsguedes]

I got it to 57 instructions.

wow ... this was really tough for me optimizing it to 77 instructions ... phew! but now i got it ...
