The latest version seems buggy

I haven't played this in several years, and saw someone playing it on YouTube and figured I would see where I left off.

When I ran a couple of my previous solutions, everything executed quickly with no hitches.

But I didn't see the charts for the run summary I saw in the YT video (granted it was a PC copy of the game).

So I thought, huh... I wonder if there is an update that adds those graphs.

So I checked, and there was an update, so I downloaded the latest version...

But now when I run the same solutions that used to execute quickly without any hitches, now seem to freeze and hitch, and is not nearly as smooth as whatever version I had previously downloaded prior to updating.

So I really enjoy this game, but it seems to be broken in its current state for some reason. Please fix the hitches (or restore a previous version that did not hitch).

Previous version was definitely 5 star.
The current state is 4 stars tops, not a great experience.

Awesome

I’ve found out recently that I absolutely love to program things, even though I have no experience in it, nor do I know any programming languages aside from assembly code. I found this gem and it’s amazing, scratches the programming itch I have, and makes it fun. Definitely worth every cent.

Good game, no external keyboard support?

I know this game came out awhile ago, but even then there was hardware keyboard support on the iPad. I just hate that I have to use the onscreen keyboard, it’s so hard to do. Esp. since it’s a desktop game!

Keyboard is a must for typing

For a key about programming, lack of keyboard support is a big show stopper for enjoyment.

Seems fun, but no keyboard support

This seems like it will be a fun puzzle/logic/programming game but the lack of keyboard is really frustrating. I would like to see the game avoid using the on-screen keyboard, but if a physical keyboard is present allow it’s use.
