I suspect the reason it isn't working is related to MochiMedia closing - I think more Flash games will succumb to this problem :(

Something's wrong, I was playing it yesterday and it froze and now it won't load at all. :(. I love programming logic games, and this is the first one that is rather user-friendly as well.

The game undervalues runtime (number of steps) and overvalues length of code (number of boxes). Otherwise though, great game and a great learning experience.

Took me five idiotic minutes to realize that you have to grab the side of the arrow to change where it points. Great work at creating an easy understandable interface. Your explanations makes no sense at all.

Hmm, what if I construct a previous box to only barely pass its test but really do some other function, so I can take advantage of the alternate function on a later level...

Let's see if you can beat any of them!

Has there been a change in the way steps are counted? I get 913 steps on level 12 while everyone is talking about more than 1000 steps.

when are you going to add user levels? 'cause if its about people spamming with impossible stuff, you could easily make beating it a requirement

Siarles: You can manually delete your savegame. On windows 7 (and similar versions) you can go to users\Yourname\AppData (AppData is an hidden folder) and there search for Jahoomas_Logic_Box.sol, delete it and it should start a new game.

PokeJoe: Your solution to #13 is also O(n^2), because IsEmpty is O(n) and you use it O(n) times. (Yes, it counts the number of steps your subroutines take.)

Very good. If you like "Manufactoria", this game is similar but easier. If you like this game, "Manufactoria" is similar but more difficult.

Wait, why is my solution to 12 more efficient than the one to 13, when 12 runs in O(n^2) time and 13 runs in O(n) time?

Is there any way to reset your progress? I'd like to play the game again, but all my solutions are already saved so there's no challenge.

Level 1 - Oh I am a genius?, level 2 -Oh I am a genius? [...] level 7 - Oh I am a genius?, level 8 - I did it, level 9 - ... definitely not a genius...

Wonderful puzzle game; I want to try using it to teach kids to program.
Haven't found a way to ace level 19 yet, but given that you can get 10 points for 15 boxes, I'm pretty happy with my 13 box / over 9000 step solution.

Kinda bummed that the "perfect" score for #12 doesn't use the minimal number of boxes. A 7-box solution (at the expense of 1239 steps): http://i.imgur.com/ABODmm1.jpg

Wow good job BornToDie. My solution was a few more steps, but used 7 boxes and one redirect. Begin debate on whether redirects should count:
I think that since we are forced to work on a square lattice we should not be penalized for the geometry's shortcomings, namely not being able to make a three box loop. Thus, according to the rules of this game, your provided solution is better, but according to real programming efficiency, this one is superior

is there any way to delete your progress? and have you been thinking about adding any achievements? thanks. the game's awesome!

Bug in level 10, deleting all characters with an adjacent same. You're asking us to leave in the first a of "jahooma" even though it's adjacent to a bunch of other a's...

Perfect 380!!! I can't express how much I enjoyed this game, and how refreshing it was despite all the sleep I lost playing it! 5/5, Favorited, signed the mailing list, got the t-shirt, and told all my friends about it!

ok, so completing this game with a perfect score really is very satisfying. Thanks jahooma! Really awesome game. Satisfyingly difficult.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I disagree entirely with which levels Jahooma says are hard. I just completed 19 on my first try after 15 minutes at most. But I've made several attempts at 14 and it still evades me! Maybe I'm just missing something obvious...
Best game on Kong 5/5

I was going to rate this a 4 because in a lot of ways I think it's just not quite as good as Manufactoria, but then I got to the recursion levels. Manufactoria is still better on not having the problem be how to solve this without the right tools, and much more comprehensive test sets, so that you have to worry about solving the general problem rather than just the few examples provided. Manufactoria also has a certain "elegant simplicity" to it that this lacks. However, recursion is awesome, and having players re-use previously built boxes in later levels is also a nice touch. (Being able to twist outputs around whereever you want also nice for anyone who's tried to optimize a manufactoria grid.) So, 5 it is. What I'd really like is a game that combines the best parts of this and Manufactoria though.

This is an incredible learning tool for grade school kids who want to learn how to program. Brilliant, 5/5. I will be recommending this to some educators I know.
