I just want to strangle the voice in my head that says, "Congratulations, oh most observant one. You've put all the pieces back exactly where they started without even noticing."
And then there's the fact that my subconscious is better at it than my active thought processes. I move things around at random to figure out any patters, go to hit reset, and notice, "hey, I'm two moves from winning. When did that happen?"
If anybody else plans to code one of these, I'd advise putting in the "shoot it" button. Leave the pieces intact, but add depressions, holes, and powderburns, preferably with sound effects. Ok, so I react violently to prolonged confusion. Or irritation.. or noise.. or silence... ...
Ooh, is that bright shiny needle for me? |
