Circuitron

The theme for the Weekly Game Jam this week is "Electricty".

Circuitron is a circuit making game similar to the pipe connecting games of the 80s and 90s. The goal is to light up a light bulb or bulbs from the power supply.

Simple stuff, mostly. Things are complicated by 'T' and 'X' pieces that split the power into multiple streams and latter levels contain bombs which will go off if connected to the power source.

10 levels to complete - that's probably enough, else it would just be more of the same.

Development has been mostly straight forward. The code for path tracing was the only thing of real challenge.
