Maybe a version without the haaax and the jetpack, and with a scoreboard will be exiting!

This ALU from turing complete. Im trying to recreat full proccesor architectur from this game

You could just do OR, AND, NOT and XOR. For the arithmetic part and the rest of the computer, try Turing Complete

This level should now be fully playable as of commit 2421a1c, if you're running a development version of the game. New release soon™️. :)

I'm using this level as a test for reimplementing puzzles. Currently if you run the latest development version of Principia you can open a puzzle in the sandbox and play it from there, but I haven't fixed playing puzzles directly from a community site yet.

Yes, I encoded the images using a custom Python code. Try making a GIF by importing several pictures and switch between them fast enough
