pyhrm

Tools for analyzing and running Human Resource Machine programs.

Human Resource Machine is a fun little game about programming, so naturally I felt compelled to write even more (Python) programs to work with my in-game programs.

To export a program from your game, use the in-game copy button then paste your program into a text editor. I've started using the file extension .hrm, but any plaintext file will do.

Usage

All scripts support the --help option, which will display all the optional and required arguments.

interpreter.py: Runs a program, given the initial memory state and inbox contents.

# Run the sorter program, with 25 memory cells and a zero in the last cell.
# By default, inbox values are given on stdin, one per line
python interpreter.py --initmem 24 0 --memsize 25 example_programs/sorter.hrm <<EOF

extract_images.py: Displays the embedded images from a program.

# Extract images from the sorter program, animating them in a Tk window.
python extract_images.py example_programs/sorter.hrm

Dependencies

• Python 2.7 or Python 3
