Description

Once upon a time, there was a great gaming website called gregatekong.com. A developer called UnderGradien set up a contest to decide who can make the best game in ten days while the game’s size can’t exceed the 10 kilobytes limit. A few brave fellows (including you) have decided to participate. But one of them, (not going to call names) created a virus to increase the other contestants’ game file’s size above the maximum limit. You have made a game with the file size of 9936 bytes. You must prevent the virus from expanding your game with 304 bytes. Luckily, you just bought this super-awesome-antivirus-software to deal with the virus by using it’s own features against it. Controll the super-awesome-antivirus-software, and delete the virus to qualify for the contest.
Made for the Game in Ten Days contest’s 13th round.
