Windows Version of Logic Lights is Running
I've finished the Logic Lights game, a game where you try to match the behavior of a light that is connected to several switches by constructing a wiring diagram with the basic logic elements -- and, or and not.
Right now, it's a Python prototype packaged with py2exe.
What it includes:
- 340 puzzles
- Three (3) logic gates -- and or and not
- Up to four (4) switches per puzzle
- Wires that connect elements
- Multiple users / logins
- Remembers puzzle either won or just tried.
Where I would like to go from here:
- Quality factors for wins (minimizing the number of logic elements)
- Automatic wiring when terminals overlap (this is something players assume)
- More control over wire position (to help identify the wires)
- Delete existing wires when both terminals are on the same terminal (this is something players assume)
- Delete elements when placed over their factories (this is something players assume)
- Create connections at the midpoint of wires (so that players don't have to bunch connections at terminals)
- Larger numbers of switches (needs scrolling and scaling functions to have enough room)
- Unlocks for the above (not needed until the scrolling and scaling functions are created)
- Randomization of levels for different users (levels are procedurally generated, and so guessable)
- Web and Android versions (I don't feel Windows is the best platform)
I'll put it up as soon as the .zip file creates a working game on the available machines around here.
