This game was created to participate in the "BASIC10Liner" competition 2020, and it won the first place with a FRATZENGEBALLER'S SPECIAL AWARD.

Since it joined this competition, the game itself is modest in size (even if it has a couple of puzzles), the given source code respects strong constraints on the length of each line (category: EXTREME-256) and it does not rely on third party libraries. For those interested, the Italian edition is also available.

For those wishing to deepen the details of its implementation (ATTENTION: SPOILERS!), please refer to the following documents:

• the source code
• the parser
• the internal state of the game
• the compression method
