Inspiration

Circuit Crazy is inspired by a lot of programming-style problem solving games, like Factorio, Mindustry, and Human Resource Machine.

What it does

Circuit Crazy is a 15-level puzzle game, where you're provided with inputs and outputs, and must construct circuits out of basic functions (like addition, subtraction) to solve problems of varying computational difficulty.

How we built it

We build Circuit Crazy in P5.js, which is an open-source frontend visualization software. By splitting into teams early on, a lot of work was done in parallel which accelerated the progress that we made.

Challenges we ran into

Designing levels that would be both challenging, yet approachable for someone without a large amount of mathematical experience was the main challenge we faced, as well as how to order levels to create a cohesive narrative or theme.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of the amount of polish we worked into the game, and how the end result turned out appearing far more professional than we had imagined it looking.
