HOW TO PLAY

Scan space objects to collect signals:

• Select one of three space objects (their description hints at possible signals)
• Press the scan button to detect signals
• Choose three signals to store, the rest will be discarded

Possible signals:

• Blue, Red, and Yellow signals have strength values from 2 to 5
• Signals with value 1 are Noise

Noise processing:

• Combine three Noise signals to create one random color signal with value 3

Data analyzer (Machine on the right):

• Place color signals or Noise on the slot in the bottom
• Each signal moves the marker forward around the analyzer by signal value
• Landing on a node generates data based on a signal’s color and value

When a signal lands on a node, the result depends on the node’s current state:

• If the node is empty (no color and 0 value), it takes the signal’s color and value
• If the node has the same color as the signal, its value increases by the signal’s value
• If the node has a different color than the signal, the node is reset
• If the signal is Noise, it weakens the node by 1
• If the node value is negative, any color signal resets the node

Game goal:

• Collect balanced data across all colors
• Track total Blue, Red, and Yellow values
• Your final score is the smallest of the sums for Blue, Red, and Yellow colors, minus Noise values
• 
• blue->5 red->4 yellow->13 grey(noise)-> -1 = Final Score 3
• You have 10 scans to achieve the best result
