About this game
Block Machine is a difficult yet poorly explained programming puzzle that combines the joy of doing homework for computer science class with the eerie satisfaction of toying around with Redstone in Minecraft.
In Block Machine, you build machines from blocks (who would have guessed!) to solve a variety of programming tasks. Block Machine's programming model is unique: Blocks are both code and data, and all computation happens in parallel. Von Neumann would have loved this.
How many different ways can you find to use the basic arrow blocks? Or maybe you fancy the charged battery blocks? Wrap your head around the different capabilities and use them to build the smallest and fastest Block Machine.
Solve difficult programming puzzles in this Turing tarpit. Can you beat the global highscore in any of the three categories?
Build that 1000 block machine your dreamt about last night. Or don't. It's a sandbox!
