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:

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.
