https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rs3PHyB17A We just launched a new mini-game that teaches important fundamental skills, including x86/x64 registers, pointers, segfaults, and addressing. We've only launched a few levels, and it's not super polished yet. (This is early-access after all). Sound FX are missing, there are a few minor glitches/bugs, etc. We'll be pushing out daily updates for the next week adding new levels and fixing these issues. Our next steps are: - OSX build will go live on 5/7 - Release more levels daily - Polish this mini-game and fix the known bugs* - Get our Linux build up to date, as it's lagging behind OSX/Windows - Revisit the gameplay for the Cipher mini-game. We pulled it because it was hard and honestly not very fun - Continue working on story-mode. ---------- * Some of the known bugs: - Leaving a level in Pointer Trace sometimes doesn't work. Workaround is to exit via the 'esc' menu. - Music volume/tracks can get reset when changing scenes - Deadlock when starting story-mode on some machines - Crashes on startup on some machines. ---------- This mini-game made it to #1 on r/programming! We're glad this mini-game was well recieved, and we'll continue to put out content that you all enjoy. https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/bks7av/squally_new_minigame_to_teach_x86x64_registers/

Squally is a 2D puzzle RPG game that teaches video game hacking -- WITHOUT boring lessons, lectures, nor the need for prior experience. Instead, Squally teaches hacking through fun engaging puzzles where learning is a by-product.
This is not crappy education software masquerading as a game. Entertainment and education are equally important, and this game won't disappoint.
A 12 year old should be able to complete the main storyline in this game. For the more hardcore players, there will be more challenging side content. Topics such as data types, data structures, bin/dec/hex, and x86 assembly are gradually introduced through puzzles and gameplay.
In other words: this game teaches you the hardest parts of computer science in the coolest way possible.
We're constantly pushing out updates, our next focus is storymode gameplay with x86 tutorials
