I spent most of yesterday playing this game. It's one of the most engaging games I've ever played. It's a lot of fun trying to come up with neat, elegant solutions. You need to use a lot of concepts that are used in programming, such as loops and recursions.
Some of the later levels are pretty brutal, especially the bonus levels, but in a good way.
(They're more like Turing machines by the way)
- endtime 16y agoI'm not very far through the game yet, but as far as I can tell they are exactly DFAs. Maybe it changes later, with new components?
- johnswamps 16y agoThey're definitely not Turing machines, but they are Turing complete, they use tapes, and you can write to the tape. Some of the later puzzles ask you to solve problems that are impossible for a DFA (such as accept X blues followed by X reds (though a PDA could also do this)). Once you do the bottom branch you get the ability to read/write green and yellow, which largely increases what you can do.
- endtime 16y agoAh...I was doing the puzzles depth first, and did the top branch first. Just got my first writing one.
