Heh that reminds me: what does the program we interpreted today actually do?

[Joris PZ]

Oh that was one of my favourite puzzles of 2017, day 23 part 2, when you had to reverse engineer an assembly program for a VM you built in part 1 - pen and paper instead of code

[karelpeeters]

Yeah that was cool.

[karelpeeters]

But this one is a couple thousand instructions long, so that would take a while.

[Joris PZ]

And it probably is different for everybody, so perhaps it just calculates random stuff

[Marcin Wisniowski]

Oh I loved that one from last year, I slowly but surely translated the instructions into C code to the point where finally had a runnable C program

[Marcin Wisniowski]

It took me ages

[Marcin Wisniowski]

@karelpeeters But here we have no program counter and no jumps, so you could say the program is... straightforward. 😛

[karelpeeters]

Ah of course, didn't even think about that.

@Marcin Wisniowski Yes. Yes you did.
