Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Anyone else find it funny that "the four elements" are the only non-elements on the list? Still a great game though :)

Lancer873's comment about the programming cycles having to all be in ratios of powers of two is very helpful, but not always true. For example I have a build in which 3 of my manipulators have a 12 step cycle and the others have 4 step cycles; I need each of those to cycles 1 and 3 times respectively for every successful reaction.

I'm not convinced that the high scores were obtained fairly. There are some obvious ones such as the 11 and 12 cycles for level 1, but my solution for level 2 has 17 cycles, which is low as I can possibly get it:
b,7,9;m,8,11,0,1,clor;m,10,14,270,1,cuod;m,10,8,90,2,oucd;m,10,9,180,1,olcr;m,7,12,180,2,wwwjcrol;m,4,9,0,2,orcl;m,8,6,270,2,orcl;m,11,9,180,2,crol;m,5,9,270,1,orcl;m,7,7,180,1,crol;
If anyone can show how it can be done in less, like in the highscores of 16, could they please post it?

So what exactly is the final element anyway? Gold, Silver, Salt and Sulphur. Is it supposed to be the alchemical represenation of the soul or something?

For some of those players who are having a hard time with this game, copy and load a simple design and look at how it works. For example, the first level: m,7,8,90,3,crrorr; also on the first level: m,3,12,0,3,clor;m,7,8,180,3,wjcrol;

It took me a long time to figure out that you can change the inital length and orientation of the robotic arm and thought that the whole right side of the screen was a waste. Just have to make the changes when your still holding the arm with the mouse.

Perfect, except that the simulations are bloody slow, which is impossibly frustrating to someone who has played the magnum opus challenge and is just trying to minimise symbols and cycles.

It used to be I could come back to this game and start working on the last level I reached. Now when I leave and come back it starts me at first level again, and everything else is not available.....Am I doing something wrong?

In my opinion, this game has a way lower rating than it deserves, it should at least be in the first page of puzzle games!

This game is quite awesome :3. I have yet to play it through the end, but heck isn't it awesome. Music's ok, but I play on my own music so don't heed me on this, do admit it wasn't the kind to fetch mute butto ASAP though, having listened to about 3 minutes of it before muting it. The game mechanics are AWESOME, this is a one of a kind mechanic (in my short experience at least) and it's so... SMOOTH. I love the soft coding aspect, so cool to play around with :3. It's definitely awesome :D.
