Well I got to level 2, but in attempting to put together chips to grab the subway token for myself, I found the soldering technique mildly bulky. It could use several Quality of Life upgrades. The game is 41 years old, I discovered, as stated in the chip list. Also, working this low level with AND, OR and XOR gates, I believe is too low level to give much ground on robotics today. I don't think winning Robot Odyssey at this point in your life is going to be the game changer that gets you the robotics engineer at OpenAI earning $500,000 per year tomorrow. I'm inclined to go back to bitburner where I've got the task set before me to school the stock market.
Thanks, though. It was pretty cool to pass level 1. This is a great game to let your kids play if you have them.
