A downloadable game

In a large forgotten underground chamber lies a mysterious machine of unknown origin.  You are an engineer called in to figure its purpose.  It seems to modular in design yet there is no way to open any modules to see inside.  Armed with your handy Test-O-Matic (Patent Pending) you must examine these smaller modules to identify their function and piece together the machines' ultimate design.  Be careful not to make assumptions as they could have horrible consequences.

Type inputs and observe the modules outputs to find it's use.

There are 2 different modules from the larger machine that are setup to interrogate.  To switch to the next module press TAB.

Background:

I wanted to make a game around testing.  I've always liked to take things apart and figure out how they work.  This games goal is to use/develop advance testing and debugging techniques to find and prove system functionality.

This is my first stab at a PyGame project.  To get it running you need Puthon 3.7+ installed and then install pygame using pip install pygame.

After that is setup, run the main.py file inside the code folder.   This is only a prototype at this point so the puzzles are easy.
