There's a glitch that you don't lose when the time runs out. Written in C. My original plan was to program a cube puzzle with Java, but I fell in a "pitfall" situation on the graphics update(). Well, it's better that I finished something than finished nothing. Your main goal is to finish each trial by giving the right answers (which are always integers).
Suggestion: Assume that you lose if the timer becomes 0.0 or lower.
I couldn't get even past the first try (I must be particularly dense), so I just looked them up in the source code O:). Just a simple guessing game, but I do like the spirit of not giving up even when your main game fails. Reminds me of some of my own LD attempts where I just threw in the towel instead of at least finishing something.

Got it to work in DosBox even on Win 7 x 64 Integer-only input is a bit tedious, especially the cipher conversion takes a lot of calculation. Might be a great educational program for highschool IT, letting them learn binary, octals and mathematical patterns :D

On the first try I wrote marshmallows, pressed enter and it went nuts ;)
I have no idea what I just downloaded and run, it gets into an infinite loop when I type "Marshmallow".
10/10 for the C code though.
