 # Big O's Loop Lab
+
+🔁 A mini visual programming language game that teaches computational thinking through concepts such as algorithmic efficiency, optimization, and recursion. Although aimed at non-technical player, the game (with additional levels) will create interesting and novel puzzles which can challenge someone of any proficiency.
+
+## Inspiration
+
+When I first heard Mark announce the theme, I thought "I've got to be able to do something with electrical currents". But it turns out my original 3D prototype/plans were far too ambitious, so I ended up with a more achievable game about programming. While two-dimensional, the UI and code-evaluator implementations were anything but simple. Although I first considered Scratch-like blocks, I eventually decided on wires & nodes due to aesthetic preference. 
+
+## Features
+
+- Nodes
+  - Loops
+    - Repeat N
+    - While
+  - Math
+    - Arithmetic
+    - Booleans
+  - Conditionals
+    - If... then:
+  - Data
+    - Value 
+    - Console Log
+  - Motion & Sensing
+    - Face []
+    - Walk [] 
+    - Facing wall?
+    - Facing Goal? 
+- Interface
+  - Zoom-able, pan-able canvas
+  - Categorized node palette
+  - Limited wire-management
+- Level management
+  - Level select
+  - Runnable/stoppable programs
+  - Level status evaluation (sorta)
+
+## Status/Roadmap
+
+The game is fairly unfinished and contains many known bugs and undoubtedly many unknown ones. It would help a lot if you left a rating and commented any bugs/suggestions you might have!
+
+In the next few of weeks, I will begin developing a post-jam version of the game taking into account suggestions and bugs discovered during the judging period and features I didn't have time to implement. To be notified for either of these things, follow me on itch.io. 
+
+## Credits
+
+Almost all of the art and code featured in the game was developed by me in Aseprite, Godot Game Engine, and FL Studio. 
+
+Other code and assets were created by:
+- Kenney (UI, game viewport assets)
+- Nathan Hoad (Godot Dialogue Manager)
+- Marek Belski (Godot Game Template)
