It's too general/abstract. Instead of a square color and circle color, just pick two colors and go with it.
I guess the reason for that is making the instructions understandable even if printing in b/w.
Ah, the title is truncated non-electronic computers that work when you color them according to a simple set of rules.

This made me imagine an educational toy that allows you to make working simple circuits by drawing: You draw with markers that have electrically conductive ink, then touch the contacts of a 9-volt battery to your drawing at a certain point and a bulb or LED that you've taped to your drawing lights up. Maybe you'd supply prefabricated stickers that contain logic gates that you stick to the paper where you need a gate.
I assume that the kind of things you make when coloring are very similar to the marble computers, the rules of the Tumble components would translate very close to the coloring rules, I think.
I was seven years old and at that moment I decided I wanted to become a computer scientist. It determined my life.
