It would be better if we could see the adjacent cubes with same color clearly. Especially on objective part, it is hard to determine how long a line segment is if it is same color.

Thank you for the feedback. I have been thinking about this earlier (https://github.com/sharkdp/cube-composer/issues/7). I will definitely try to improve it.

This is very challenging.

Awesome game! The stackequal function is confusing though... Any help or description would've saved a lot of time...

Yeah, thin black borders between all the cubes would be a world of help.

PureScript is a game changer. Compilation is fairly simple (unlike GHCJS), full Haskell'ish type system and modern/compact syntax, picked up a lot of momentum lately.

It find it by far the best AltJS implementation currently available.

Have a look at the code implementing the transformer functions, so clean!

Nice demo!

I solved the second one using stackEqual. Still have no idea what it does...

The interface is really fun though, and the blocks look nice. Only the "Solved!" text is quite small and not easy to spot.
