I like the underlying concept a lot, and your implementation is flawless. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>It is missing one critical thing though: Either queries (for example &quot;What ground am I standing on?&quot;) or events (&quot;Start when I hit the floor&quot;). Without those it is just a timing game, and I it feels a bit cumbersome to say &quot;go x seconds right, then x seconds left, then x second right, then left&quot; with this: http:\/\/puu.sh\/4cfLt\/506065b1de.png\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I didn't have to use anything but XORs (which you can also build out of an AND and 1 NOT, or an OR and 2 NOTS), and I am not sure how I could've made my solutions easier or more elegant using the other blocks?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Since timing is so essential, I would've liked a prediction mode where I can jump to any time to see where I would be at that point if I'd execute it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The &quot;advanced&quot; tab should stay open if I open it once - XOR is *very* useful.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The art style is working well for this kind of game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I missed having sound effects and music. Sound effects can be rather easily created with a microphone and things in the environment or your voice, and for music there are generators like http:\/\/abundant-music.com.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Concept and execution are pretty solid, and were it not for the missing queries\/events, the game could be also pretty fun to play. Still a nice entry though - good job!"},{"author_name":"paulmcgg","author_uid":"21390","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 9:18pm","epoch":1377724380,"text":"Agree about sound, but otherwise interesting creation.

Very instructive for explaining a traditional microcode architecture.  The biggest problem game-wise is that timing alone limits the kinds of challenges you can have.  Adding sensors for example makes for more complex challenges.  The game runs rather slow on my firefox, about 5fps, which is a bit annoying."}],"images":["ld27\/15601-453f4f05a59e9e65dff60724845660dc.jpg","ld27\/15601-277dc4b77d7e995fc092eef2f478a134.jpg","ld27\/15601-d8f7384272f0d45890cbd6afe6f0b8f4.jpg","ld27\/15601-bdc1c43f6820e891e9b9371cccdee980.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/29137271\/game\/48\/10_seconds_test.exe","text":"Windows exe, original"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/29137271\/game\/10_seconds_test_v1.08.exe","text":"Windows exe, Post-compo"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.kongregate.com\/games\/e_cha\/10-second-test","text":"Web (HTML5) Kongregate (original)"},{"url":"http:\/\/echa.ru\/ld\/27\/post\/","text":"Web (HTML5), post-compo"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/29137271\/game\/48\/Project104.gmx.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"23716","g_author":"15601","g_event":"LD27","g_eventkey":"18","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"23746","g_title":"10 second test","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"80","g_commentcount":"29","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/15601-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/15601-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/15601-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/15601-shot3.gif-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Post-compo web version: http:\/\/echa.ru\/ld\/27\/post\/\r\n\r\nGameplay gif: http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/273708\/15601-shot3.gif\r\n","title":"10 second test"}
