FIRMWARE UPDATE VERSION 1.3 is now live with a NEW CAMPAIGN!

UPDATE PAGE: http://www.zachtronics.com/firmware-update-3/

NOTE: It is highly likely that changes will be made to the new puzzles that were added as we get stats and feedback from players. If you have any thoughts, questions, or suggestions, please send them to [email protected] for consideration!

New content:

  • Added a new campaign with user-inspired puzzles that is unlocked at the end of the main campaign. If you are using a printed manual, you will need to print the three pages added to the end of the Supplemental Data section.
  • Added a new puzzle to the main campaign based on one of Zach's failed business ideas from before he started a game studio.
  • Added the MC4010 math co-processor to the prototyping area, which adds advanced math operations not found on the MC4000 and MC6000 microcontrollers.

Other changes:

  • Added support for display outputs, which allow you to send whatever you want to LCDs in puzzles so long as it shows the right thing at the right time.
  • Reworked the drinking game scorekeeper and precision food scale puzzles to use display outputs.
  • One of the outputs on AND/OR/XOR logic gates is now automatically inverted.
  • The secret puzzle (which was previously accessible by clicking on Zach's portrait in the in-game Early Access email) is now accessible through a secret code in the "puzzle archive".

New and updated manual pages:

  • LC70Gxx SIMPLE I/O LOGIC GATE FAMILY
  • MC4010 MATH CO-PROCESSOR
  • SUSHIROBO RESTAURANT / KITCHEN PRELIMINARY DESIGN
  • THORIUM SALT REACTOR CUSTOM LCD
  • MASS PRODUCTION OF A NEURAL PROCESSING LATTICE
