Happy Numbers

Today's Programming Praxis challenges us to write a program to list the happy numbers up to a given limit. A number is happy if the sum of the square of it's digital eventually reaches 1. E.g. 7 is happy because 72=49, 42+92=97, 92+72=130, 12+32+02=10, 12+02=1.

Here's my solution in Redcode:

org    newcand

        base   equ 10
        limit  equ 100
        tries  equ 50

stack   dat    0
happy   dat    1
cand    dat    0
total   dat    0
repeat  dat    0
 
newcand mov.ba happy,     cand
        mov    #tries,    repeat
again   mov    #-1,       total
digits  mov.ab cand,      cand
        mod    #base,     cand
        div.a  #base,     cand
        mul.b  cand,      cand
        add.b  cand,      total
        jmn.a  digits,    cand
        jmz    found,     total
        mov.ba total,     cand
        add.a  #1,        cand
        djn    again,     repeat
nexthap seq    #limit,    happy
        jmp    newcand,   >happy
        dat    0

found   mov.b  happy,     <stack
writen  mov.b  @stack,    <stack
        div    #10,       >stack
        mod    #10,       @stack
        add    #48,       @stack
        jmn    writen,    <stack
        add    #1,        stack
wloop   sts    >stack,    0
        jmn    wloop,     stack
        sts.a  #10,       0
        jmp    nexthap
