Solve programming puzzles on a fictional computer with radio-based communication and unique limitations. Competitively optimize to compete on leaderboards against friends and the global community.

From your friends at QuantumPulse Ltd we are excited to introduce the brand new QuantumPulse 2A Professional Computer and Visualization Interface: The most powerful device releasing in '77! With its novel on-chip radios, hi-tech BBS interface, and exclusive hardware addons, the QP-2A is sure to win your heart and mind. Compete against your friends in programming challenges to earn GOLD STARS! And ACT FAST: The first to complete the certification course will receive a complimentary unopened pack of traditional Kostovian playing cards.
Disclaimers: All of the above statements are classified as Marketing-Truth as per the Truth in Marketing Act of 1973. Friends need not be real. Stars contain no real gold. Manual may have been damaged, lost, or censored during international shipping.

  • 25+ programming puzzles - many are easy to solve, difficult to optimize
  • See how your solutions stack up against your friends' or globally on the leaderboards for each of run-time, lines of code, and cost of components
  • Solving puzzles unlocks new puzzles and 7 different chips to use in only future puzzles - when you first open a puzzle, you will always have all of the same tools available as anyone else you see on the leaderboard
  • Make use of a unique fictional computing device where all communication is done by broadcasting to radio channels, and all conditional operators test values broadcast from other chips
  • Integrated debugger, syntax checking, and quick language reference
  • Full reference manual
  • Solitaire minigame, like all good Zach-likes
  • DRM-free

Now supporting MS-DOS (Command-Line Interface release)

QuantumPulse 2A now includes a command-line interface for playing puzzles and running programs, running on MS-DOS 3.30 or newer (including Windows, Linux, and MacOS).\n\nTo use the command-line interface, run please see README.TXT to get started. You can use the command-line interface for editor integrations, automated testing, or retro-computing just for the fun of it!\n\nI had a lot of fun porting the CLI to DOS, and have detailed the journey on my blog . Please check it out if you find that kind of thing interesting =).\n\nFull patch notes:\n

    \n
  • Add command-line interface QP2ACLI.EXE that runs on MS-DOS and modern Windows\n
  • Add command-line interface CLI/QP2A.JS that can be run via Node.js or jSH on any operating system\n
  • Add README.TXT detailing the CLI, and MANUAL.TXT, an ASCII-text only version of the manual for use in your favorite terminal-based operating systems\n
\n\nIf youve spent some time with QuantumPulse and want to leave a review, that would be really appreciated! Steam reviews are immensely valuable, as beyond certain thresholds Steams algorithms will show the game to more people, and they let players know what other players think of a game. And to me, beyond the business benefits, an honest review is great, it lets me know what resonates with players and what doesnt, and helps directs my future work. And, yes, I realize none of you asked for this update.

    \n
  • Fix puzzle #26 ([spoiler]Mastermind[/spoiler]) guess validator returning the incorrect value in some cases - [spoiler]if guessing a right number in the wrong place, and that number was present in all 2 other locations, it would erroneously result in a count of 2 \"right number in the wrong place\" in the return. E.g. if the secret is \"2 3 3\" a guess of \"3 1 1\" was returning \"0 2\" but should return \"0 1\", which is what it does now.[/spoiler] (bug credit: MannyKlystron)\n

QuantumPulse 2A now available!

We\'re excited to announce that the full version of QuantumPulse 2A is now available here on Steam! A special shout-out and thanks to our beta testers, without whom the game would not be what it is today. If you want some tough competition, want to discuss puzzle solutions, or have some feedback to share, please join our Discord , or post on the Steam community discussions .

For those of you who played the Demo, as long as it\'s still installed and Steam Cloud has synced your saves locally, the first time you launch the full version it\'ll prompt you to automatically migrate your solutions if you wish (some people may prefer to re-do the \"easy\" puzzles to get back into the flow of things though =). And, don\'t worry, if you don\'t do the automatic migration, you can always easily copy solutions between versions by clicking the \"Open Save Folder\" button in the options screen and copying files around.
