2020 January – July

For the international programming competition ICFPC2020, I designed an operating system. It tells us that we are not alone in the universe, invites us to a galactic tournament, and explains the rules of the game and combat mechanics.

The computer is like a black box: you give it a command (a coordinate), and it gives you back a bunch of bytes (images) - resulting in a multi-layered touch interface. Everything works like a puzzle, maintaining the ambiance and complexity level.
