Human Resource Machine is a fun, little, dark-humoured puzzle game that either can teach you assembly from the ground up or allow you to put your existing assembly knowledge into practice in coming up with speed/size optimized solutions to increasingly hard problems.
Human Resource Machine is a puzzle game. In each level, your boss gives you a job. Automate it by programming your little office worker! If you succeed, you'll be promoted up to the next level for another year of work in the vast office building. Congratulations!
This repo contains working solutions, in hopes of exchanging ideas to collaboratively come up with the most/size.speed optimized solutions (or simply to help those out there who are stuck). Even though the programs are created through a drag-and-drop interface within the game, copy/paste from/to the clipboard works as assembly source code seen in this repo.
The file naming convention used is:
Inside a folder called <level>-<level name>-<size par>.<speed par>, [size].[speed].asm
Where size and speed are the number of commands and steps of the solution, which is deemed by the game as size and speed optimized if they are equal to or less than the par numbers in its folder's name.
For example, 07-Zero-Exterminator-4.23/4.23.asm means the solution is both size and speed optimized.
To import one of these solutions into the game:
- Open the file
- Select all
- Copy to clipboard
- Go to the game
- Paste from clipboard
