I love this game! Such a cool idea, and very well executed. My biggest critique so far is that it's extremely hard for me to tell the difference between #311 and #000 for the `.disabled` lines (I'm mildly red-green colorblind). Changing it to #711 fixed it for me, but I can imagine it would be impossible to even see #F11 for certain colorblind individuals. Perhaps some other kind of indication that a line is editable…

That can be solved without changing the colors of anything, BTW :)

Chrome seems to crash every four or five levels and it forces me to reload the page. It's a tad annoying going back through my levels. Perhaps consider a level select, since it's able to remember your solutions?

There is a level select! :-) It's in the Menu (Ctrl-0). We really should bring more attention to it.

Ah, yes. That's very convenient.

I don't see anywhere to edit on level 21, and level select says there's one more...

Hmm, do you notice anything different about the menu now that you're on level 21?

Credits don't load. t_t

EDIT: OK they load now, servers must have been busy.

EDIT2: Credits load on the main site but not on the mirror.

Aww, I thought that was to easy. That trick works for basically any level. Also, is there a good way to completly prevent tampering with functions, or is this just going to be an arms race?

> Also, is there a good way to completly prevent tampering with functions, or is this just going to be an arms race? Let's hope for an arms race - it will be far more fun and educating at the same time.

hmm a multi player javascript API tampering arms race game would be pretty awesome too.

Not sure if you noticed this yet or not, but it is possible to comment all code following an allowed block by leaving an open "/*". This allows the player to write their own code to overwrite what should be uneditable.

not sure if you would want to disallow this or not, but i find it allows for some interesting hacky solutions.

Using CTRL+Q for the phone is dangerous on a mac, as it's easily confused with APPLE+Q which closes the browser window, losing your progress. --- Edit: it saves the game state in localstorage; kudos!

At the top left, in 'Chrome', there's a useful 'Warn before Quitting' option.
