The only Zachtronics brand game I've finished is Eliza lol (and yes it's also the one where I actually beat the solitaire too)

Time to see how I fare with this new one

Weirdly compelling. Is there a keyboard shortcut to go back to the hand tool?

e: It's right clicking.



You can get a lot done if you go ham with the tape. And because you can move parts out from under the tape without damaging it, if you set up a checkerboard pattern you can reuse it.

Yeah the premise seems like "oh do i really want to do this" but it sucked me in and took up most of my play time this evening lol.

I wish it had a magnifying glass though because my eyes are not good enough to do the fine detail work to my satisfaction lol, i am using an OS-level magnifier

Jesus can someone help me with the OR gate in Chipwizard? I feel like I am just fundamentally failing to learn what it is trying to teach me. If someone could post a solution so I can reverse engineer it or a hint...

lol I am struggling on this one too... the first design i made ended up passing the signal when either input was on but not when both were on... the second attempt I guess I didn't fully understand how electricity flows across vias lol.

I am gonna keep working at it without looking at any hints though

Edit: OH... I had completely ignored the voltage as a constant signal that you could use for the transistors lol. Posting works

I am finding Fortune's Foundation to be extremely difficult lol, it's hard to wrap my head around especially having played all the other solitaires right before this.

The specific rules are messing with my prior heuristics, as stacks that might look good are actually unwinnable because you can't move stacked cards, stacks go in both directions, using the free cell blocks you from melding cards off the stack lol

I have been staring at this position for like ten minutes, unable to determine how to proceed and wondering if I've already failed after two moves lol



Does this game give you unwinnable deals? I know it happens with Klondike

Edit: oh poo poo



Edit 2: it took me one hour but whew, that's one win with every solitaire
