@hcschuetz Hey, that's a good optimization. And it did occur to me another potential optimization is to cache previously seen states (only 4 registers; not so hard) and abort if i detect a loop. However I think I could still run in a *very* long loop using only loops and slowly modifying one of the registers in a non-repeating or increasing fashion. It would be hard, given the operators, but not out of the question.
