Update: I fixed it. The parent post is no longer counting towards the limit.

Tested it on an offline Android. I'm amazed that it works, although I could never figure out the controls so I always end up dead within a few seconds!

You might want to explain those controls in the readme :)

Exactly. You'd still be in a non-deterministic loop, just a more expensive one.

YouTube's algorithm has created over the last ~5 years an entire cottage industry of click-maximizing content creators who take any interesting scientific discovery or concept, turn it into the maximally hypey claim they can, and make that the title of their videos with a "shocked-face" thumbnail.

E.g. imagine an arxiv paper from French engineer sebastiennight:

     Using quantum chips to mitigate halting issues on LLM loops

It would result the same day in a YT video like this:

     Thumbnail: (SHOCKED FACE of Youtuber clasping their head next to a Terminator robot being crushed by a flaming Willow chip)
     Title: French Genius SHOCKS the AI industry with Google chip hack!

Could you share the logic behind that statement?

Because here I'm getting "YouTuber thumbnail vibes" at the idea of solving non-deterministic programming by selecting the one halting outcome out of a multiverse of possibilities
