TIS-100 is an open-ended programming game by Zachtronics, the creators of SpaceChem and Infinifactory, in which you rewrite corrupted code segments to repair the TIS-100 and unlock its secrets.

- Instruction Set and instruction parameters may specify a port or internal register. Any use of a port will block until the corresponding node connected to that port completes the communication by reading or writing a value.
Tessellated Intelligence System Best Practices - Patterns of Node Communication
This is an (eventually) comprehensive spoiler for Zachtronics’ game TIS-100, with notes on the system architecture, some common optimization techniques, and annotated solutions for each program.
Part I: General Information
Chapter 1: Implementation Details
This chapter documents various syntax quirks and undefined behaviors, such as integer overflows (everything is clipped to +/- 999), segfaults (can’t happen), and multiple simultaneous reads and writes to a Stack Memory Node.
Chapter 2: Instruction Timings
In short: Writing to a port takes two cycles (or more if it blocks) unless a Stack Memory Node is doing the writing. Reading from a port takes one cycle (or more if it blocks). Everything else takes one cycle.
Part II: TIS-100 Spoilers
Chapter 3: Getting Started
Covers segments 00150 (Self-Test Diagnostic) through 22280 (Signal Multiplexer).
An introduction to loops, parallelization using
ANY
, and switch
statements with JRO
.Chapter 4: Learning about Pipelining
Covers segments 30647 (Sequence Generator) through 33762 (Interrupt Handler).
It’s like parallelism, but in series!

Chapter 5: Using Stack Memory Nodes
Covers segments 40196 (Signal Pattern Detector) through 43786 (Signal Multiplier).
State machines; avoiding gratuitous
SWP/SAV
s; preventing stack underflows without using a counter.Chapter 6: Pretty Pictures
Covers segments 50370 (Image Test Pattern 1) through 53897 (Histogram Viewer).
Chapter 7: Algorithms
Covers segments 60099 (Signal Window Filter) through 63534 (Sequence Sorter).
Here’s where things really start to get complicated.
Chapter 8: The End
Covers segments 70601 [3 WORDS REDACTED] and UNKNOWN [2 WORDS REDACTED].
What really happened to Uncle Randy? And who built this machine anyway?
