New quest I am presenting my followers with: is there a turing-complete gimmick blog?
Im playing a game called turing complete. Its a puzzle game where you solve simple puzzles based on logic gates. The joke is that the puzzles get more and more complex and then you realize that what youre doing is building a computer from scratch.
Now this is a long held dream of mine and im glad its been finally realized.
This is all of course comp sci basics. I remember studying this in processor architecture class. But its really nice to review it over again in a frankly much more didactic and better organized way, with plenty of practisce to make sure the lessons stick. Now i truly understand morgans rule. Now i truly groked how a simple adder works. Now i get how you turn decimal into binary with logic gates (its stupidly complicated).
Now the thing im really curious about is checking out if we are going to cover a couple of really fundamental conceptual leaps that i didnt fully grasp when i was studying this in 2013. Chiefly how do you make the jump from arithmetic and logical operations with binary numbers into assembly code, and later how the hell do you jump from assembly code to making an operating system. Thats what i hope ill learn in this game
this can't possibly be the right approach
qoob
qoob (pronounced /kub/ like coob) is a qoobular language, there are 3 qoobic qoobstructures:
0: put a 0 on the qoob
1: put a 1 on the qoob
[ ... ]: remove a bit from the qoob, then loop the contents if it was 1, repeating the check each loop around
qoob can do anything. This is because it is the most qoobish language in the universe.

GET TURING COMPLOT IDIOT!!!
This circuit could be a lot simpler
You Should Play Turing Complete
Your mind will be boggled and you will learn useful skills like how to count 4 dots
In all seriousness this game is both fun and educational and I implore youse to purchase it if ye have the funds
man, how the fuck do you write assembly when you cant jump more than 64 instructions back and forth?
