The Codex of Alchemical Engineering
Like Alchemy, but More Tangible!
The Codex of Alchemical Engineering is a puzzle game about programming “manipulators” to move, transmute, and bind alchemical “atoms” into complex compounds.
A few notes about the game:
- After completing a level, your progress is saved so long as your Flash “cookies” aren’t deleted. Your design, however, is not; if you want to keep your design, you must go to the Save screen and save the text shown there (I keep my solutions in a text file on my desktop). You can reload a saved design by pasting the design code into the Load window and pressing the load button.
- The music playing is Evan’s “Rever… Peut-etre…”, which you can find here on jamendo.com.

Love this game! So much so that I wonder if I can change the shift and ctrl key bindings. I can play the game on my htc merge but the physical keyboard doesn’t have those keys. Is there a solution?
Thanks,
Chris
