I think I must be missing something. Perhaps it's just a genre I am unfamiliar with, but I don't understand the interface. Could you maybe give a bit more explanation?
You place "actions" by selection an action in the bottom left corner, and place those on the hex grid. Then you press play in the bottom right to "start" the machine and see how it acts. You use this to complete certain goals, the first few levels should act as a tutorial.
