Alan's Automaton Workshop is a Steampunk themed puzzle game which mainly focusing on programming challenge.
You, as a novice engineer, will join Alan and his new business in town - an automaton workshop. By composing nodes and arrows with various hardware devices, you can create novel automatons to solve problems from clients, such as: improving working conditions, providing entertainments ...... or even change the world?
Find out your own design and build original automatons to solve all kinds of strange cases. Each level has infinite possibilities!
Starts from basic loops and conditional statements, to advanced algorithm topics. You can find satisfaction no matter what your programming skill is.
The real challenge begins after you clear a level! Try to get the best results with minimal instructions or fastest execution time.
With your efforts and the expansion of Alan's business, the more-and-more powerful automatons attract the attention from intelligence agencies ...How would it change the game?
Challenge your friends with level editor, or create your own puzzle in sandbox mode after launch. Let's see what you can build!

random crashes some times. Whole solution gone. auto saves, ever heard of them?1 found this helpful
Like coding occupational simulating game. Before level III are full of fun and interesting. But in III it starts to torture your life, just worse than a real coding engineer. Thank god my life is not rely on coding.1 found this helpful
Quite fun! Just started it but kind of addicting. Liking that it's (sort of) visual representation of coding! Which is helping my semi-practice the logic without actually working on a project.
Its a decent programming game. This shouldn't be the first programming game that you play though, there are better ones. Some of the later problems are really going to leave you stuck if you don't have a strong inclination to this sort of thing.
The game is about building Finite State Automata and later Turing machines to solve various problems. All programming in this game is done via a flowchart interface and you cannot build reusable components or copy parts of your solution between problems. Due to the fact that the interface is rather low-level (even copying data requires a "map" operation) writing useful programs is somewhat tedious. The art in this game consists of beautiful steampunk-style machines, which sometimes take more screen real estate than would be useful. There is also a detailed story line involving computing pioneers such as Alan Turing, however I skipped it in my playthrough. The puzzles begin extremely easy but by the later chapters are much more challenging. There is also a sandbox mode and the ability to share puzzles online.
Very unique programming game. Every component of the computer clicks and whirrs nicely.
