Tesla Challenge 24: WRPG Server Database

Subject: WRPG server cells
From: Carl Tesky <carl@longteng-co-ltd.gd.cn>

Hey, before you move off to Avalon City there's one more thing I'd like you to do for us here in Longteng. You see, David and Xiaomei came up with this idea of creating a WRPG, a Workplace Role-Playing Game for all of us coworkers. It would be awesome to be able to kill the boredom of everyday work by pretending it's an epic journey full of quests and stuff! We need someone to design the servers that will contain all of the data about everyone. It's made of tessellated cells that communicate with one another through command sequences. If you can manage that, you're ready for Avalon's contraptions.

Small hint: It's the wiring part that's the most difficult. Plan how you will divide the tasks among microcontrollers and wire them up before you write any code.

Big hint: You don't need to convert into binary to manage the different outputs. Use nested conditionals, such as

teq acc 1 - teq acc 3 - teq acc 5 - teq acc 7 + mov dat P

(P is connected to the output)

Optimization tip: If you can fuse two tasks into a single microcontroller, do it!
