Seems like a cool idea... and I'm curious to see if it turns into something as interesting as the Zachtronics games.

However, I found it hard (in the first minute or so with the game) to figure out what the objective was. I'm also red-green colorblind... so it can get a little difficult to distinguish the colors you use for on-off states.

Oh, I did not consider that. Actually I think I will let people change the different colors in the settings since there are so many combinations of color blindness and I am having a hard time making it not look ugly in the first place.

But I have considered and may make the first level more clear in its objective. Although the whole game is challenging, there just is no way for you to discover how the whole computer works by yourself if I can't expect you to do certain things.

But yes, Zachtronics game closest to this is probably Shenzhen IO
