Lots of people will know of my obsession with programming puzzles. No longer content with just solving them, I decided to start creating and publishing my own. SystemsCheck is an engineering puzzle game set aboard the starship Orion. You play a cadet, handed alarming requests by a chief engineer with questionable delegation instincts. Solve each one by writing code against your own puzzle input. No set cadence, the puzzle corpus just keeps growing. Try it and let me know what you think!
