Program Ideas
Now that i can do what are essentially programs with laser logic, ive been enjoying making puzzles with deeper mechanics or variations on expected use cases. however beyond making puzzles which give players control over a program to progress (i.e pressing buttons to toggle elements, using laser cubes to power and unpower segments, having levels change context after certain actions are performed) im running low on ideas.

if anyone has any ideas for either ways youd like a puzzle to operate that seems outside the available limitations of the test chambers, or for some kind of set piece that a level could be built around, i would really appreciate them being included here.

additionally any map suggestions with mechanics i could implement, i will absolutely play. Im always up for some inspiration. obviously id prefer to avoid maps with mechanics that rely on BEE or Hammer to implement, but im up for a challenge.

Just play :)
Sometimes ideas may arise from just playing other puzzles or fiddling around with the puzzle elements to see what they can do...

Construct a "lab" :)
Mess around...
Play...

Ideas may happen :)

im aware that im capable of coming up with my own ideas. im asking for feedback to improve the quality im able to impliment, as well as references to the last 10 years of quality maps to draw inspiration from. i have made over 30 submissions in the last 2 months, and i simply cannot continue at that pace without external feedback.

i really enjoy the problem solving aspect of building a map, so im more asking for problems to solve than for other people to do my work for me yk.
