Here's an explanation; the dialog with 3 text boxes shows the first 3 numbers of a number sequence, from top to bottom. The game uses those 3 numbers to generate the rest of a number sequence; i.e. 1,2,3 becomes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.  That sequence is used to remove cubes. The first number removes red cubes, the second green, the third blue, the fourth goes back to red, etc. This goes on until there aren't enough cubes left for the next number in the sequence."},{"author_name":"lightsoda","author_uid":"19698","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 9:21pm","epoch":1367270160,"text":"Well, I never achieved minimalism I guess, but it's a fun little toy to see what will happen.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Took me a good while and reading your explanation a few times to figure out what was going on."},{"author_name":"Andy West","author_uid":"21295","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 6:31am","epoch":1367303160,"text":"Interesting, but difficult to understand."},{"author_name":"SomeNetworkGuy","author_uid":"21998","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 6:40am","epoch":1367303700,"text":"Ah, I get it now. An interesting concept here! Nice work on implementing the sequence finding algorithm too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But I have a problem with not being able to see the text entry boxes. I only can see the last one.
