# Lock
# Lock - "Thinky Puzzle" game jam submission.
Slide numbers and operators to solve math expressions. You'll need to unlock your path to reach the goal.
Use the Arrow Keys to move the player within the grid and through the path to reach the goal.
Push numbers and operators into horizontal or vertical tuples to make mathematical expressions.
The order in which the expression is completed determines the result.
Horizontal and vertical expressions work the same.
If the last element pushed is an operator, left->right and top->down order is used.
2 pushed into a sequence of ( [ ] [-] [1] ) == 2 - 1 = 1
1 pushed into a sequence of ( [ ] [-] [2] ) == 1 - 2 = -1
Yielded numeric results give you the values needed to unlock your route to the goal.

Wow, seems like there is a fan of this game that has been playing many of the levels. The level editor is functional, but I currently don't have it finished to allow user submitted levels -- that's next on the list. By the way, there are now Fixed locations. If the fixed location contains an operator, when the result is filled, the location is no longer fixed! Should make for some interesting gameplay/levels.
After receiving some good player feedback, I've updated the game to add/improve the features and because of this, I reset the high scores list. There is now a scoreboard for Time as well as a scoreboard for Least Number of moves performed.
Please feel free to comment and let me know what other features I can add and thanks for playing!
