Nice work with the card animations, and I like the robo-rally like card emulation.

I felt a little cheated with the implication that I should use my own graph paper to draw out the maze, as that's the exact sort of thing that a game is well suited to do - the player would still have the trial and effort of programming, and having to retrieve data recordings, but I'd think the slow resolution of the maze in front of the player as they experimented with random hands would be an interesting game loop.

I like the idea, but I feel it could do with more feedback from the result of actions or at least have the logs show the actions taken until explosion. I just found myself getting very confused

This was a great take on the theme! I could've used a bit more explanation on the goal in game, but overall it was a fun experience. I liked the card animations!

Cool concept and nice twist on the theme implementation :) I really like the hints idea to suggest drawing stuff on a paper. I am quite found of those games where you must do stuff outside the game scope.

On the other hand I found it not very clear how the punchcard programms works, I surmise it loops, thus the infinite loop error. And the rng might be a little too frustrating for me as I got lot's of card that I didn't always need and thus got stuck in making infinite loop programs, or a programs that didn't help me understand the maze.

A part from that it's very nice, the card animation feels nice :)

Congrats for the entry !

neat idea fits the theme and all,but needs sound for that emmersive feel
