What it does

Lots of people will know of my obsession with programming puzzles. No longer content with just solving them, I decided to start creating and publishing my own. SystemsCheck is an engineering puzzle game set aboard the starship Orion. You play a cadet, handed alarming requests by a chief engineer with questionable delegation instincts. Solve each one by writing code against your own puzzle input. No set cadence, the puzzle corpus just keeps growing. Try it and let me know what you think!

    Hello guys, I'm glad to present to you PlayAlgoShip, a web-based game where you solve fun algorithmic puzzles. The rules are simple, you need to find the correct algorithm that makes the ship collect all stars. If you succeed, you will unlock the next level! There are also live statistics like how many players are currently playing on your current level (you are not alone struggling!), the finish rate of the level, and how many players liked/disliked it. It's 100% free, I hope you will enjoy the experience!
