Are these simple tasks all a CPU can really do!?
This app is a mobile reference book that will let you experience the inner workings of a CPU, solving puzzles with a single stroke.
How does the CPU make programs work? What is even a pointer?
As you advance through the puzzles, the inner workings of a computer will come to you naturally.
Worrying about C language pointers? No problem. Even those with no knowledge about programming can learn and have fun.
The CPU operates under machine language. Also known as assembly language.
Saying it like that makes it sound very complicated, but theres no need to worry.
There are very few things that can be done with general programming language, so it is actually quite simple.
This app uses a fictional 8-bit CPU for reference, and its features have also been simplified.
How is a CPU able to operate a computer with nothing but such simple functions?
Let BITROBO be your guide and, little by little, grasp the concepts as you go.
Combine simple machine language to create a variety of functions!
We believe learning about CPUs at school classes or with manuals can prove to be difficult due to a variety of obstacles. It can be hard to picture clearly with a mere piece of paper, and even getting to practice programming itself can become bothersome.
In this app you can tackle programming in a casual experience, with single stroke puzzles eliminating tedious labor. Visualizing CPU operations in an animated format will also help you get a natural grasp of its inner workings.
Puzzles are divided across a variety of important topics, each on a different level.
There are 4 stages on each level, adding to a grand total of 80 stages to play on.
We also compiled a list of 24 extra notes with important information we were unable to expand upon within the gameplay.
Climb slowly but surely and reach for the top levels!
We hope this app will enrich your computer life!
