Codon Craft

Codon Craft is a logic puzzle game about programming machines that sort, repair and rewrite DNA. Drag to lay tracks. Place readers, which snip the first base off a strand and send it down the matching path, and writers, which add a base to its end. Then press Run and watch your machine work through a set of test strands. Puzzles start with a single track and build to machines that do real computation, because the parts are Turing complete. The later puzzles are properly hard, solutions are open ended, and once a machine works you can chase fewer parts and fewer steps. It all happens in the Lumen Archive, the last library of life on Earth, four kilometres beneath the Pacific. Thousands of strands drift in every day. Healthy ones belong in the Vault; damaged ones are recycled or repaired. Your machines decide which is which. HOW IT PLAYS • Sort strands, sending the right ones to the Vault…
