pi.dat - 10 years

[pieguy]

10 years later, the hardest part of solving level 41 is finding a computer that still runs MSCC. I guess this would be an appropriate occasion for some trivia:

• The best possible score on level 7 is 984.
  
• I was originally planning for the chip counts and time limits to coincide with the digits of pi, but this ultimately proved too restrictive. The chip counts on levels 12 and 20 still remain, as does the time limit on level 15.
  
• I have since designed an "end of all time" level that would take on the order of 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years to complete.
