ASCII Machine

ASCII Machine

ASCII Machine is a sandbox game, in which you can build Rube Goldberg-style machines using nothing but text.

You write and run machines directly in the Editor, which colors the different components as you type them. You can then switch to Simulation mode, and see the machine spring to life in place.

Trying out

The best way to try out ASCII Machine is to open the examples in a tab, and try them out directly in the Editor above. Press Shift+Enter after you've pasted a machine to immediately see it in action.

And when you start making your own machines, make sure to keep the Quick Reference handy.
