Does anybody have any clue for this?
I solved the King Rat challenge, but it took me 160Instructions!
I have no clue how to get down to 24...

I guess people who are familliar with assembler might know how... but i'm a "high level" person

Help please...

The point is to force you to think low and (ab)use tricks that you wouldn't dare do if you were writing in a high-level env. You really have to understand how the VM works and the oddities of the instructions; there are a few that really can be tricked and coerced.

i understand that was was looking for some hints to where i can get more information and maybe some general hints on how to do thing like a loop or if in the "proper" way.
Surely using memory as pointer can't be the best idea

As for loops, all I'll say is that look at goto-style instructions. Conditions are also important. There's no "proper" way, but there's 1 or 2 instructions that are used.

And memory as a pointer? Why not?

I would like to know how few instructions you have to do it in at the end of this series of challenges - I just can't get it below 34! More brain cycles needed methinks.
