Avast thinks this is a virus, maybe because of godot? also

>godot

except for that I think this game is awesome. Takes a lot of thought. I like it.

God dammit, do you have the exact thing he detected ?

I'm using godot-rust to make the bridge between the calculator implementation and the GUI and he loads the dll at runtime, Avast probably doesn't like that.

EDIT: probably godot, they are using a compression method commonly used by REALLY old virus https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/3665 which is stupid for released game but whatever, I'll see what I can do, thank you for the report.

Really well designed puzzle there anon, unfortunately I'm a brainlet so it took me around an hour to finish it.

Even so I can't help but think you are holding the player's hand a little bit too much with that reveal 3 correct answers. Maybe add a difficulty level that changes how many correct answers you must have before validating it?

Good luck with this anyway.

This is the tutorial of a bigger game with a full computer, I didn't want player to get too lost so it's supposed to hold your hand a bit.

I do want to have different difficulties. One of them will be "1MA" where you don't get your answers checked and the only way to finish the game while be to solve the true riddle hidden inside one of the computer's program.
