Hi HN! This a simple project made with JavaScript and the HTML canvas, the goal is to learn about different models of computation by solving simple puzzles with them, almost like programming with a finite state machine.<p>This project is part of my undergraduate thesis in cognitive science and its about video games as tools for learning. The game collects stats as you play (number of levels completed, number of transitions&#x2F;states used, etc), if you prefer nothing gets sent you can set &quot;internet_conn&quot; to false in src&#x2F;stats_recorder.js or turn of your internet after the page is loaded - the game will still work as normal.<p>The source code is here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;shailpatels&#x2F;FiniteStates" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;shailpatels&#x2F;FiniteStates</a>
