Quick notes

  • Gun upgrades add operations. Later matter guns retain earlier capabilities while introducing new ways to move or create cubes.
  • Know the named acquisition rooms. The blue gun is found in Logic 101 and the green gun in Learning To Draw.
  • Grow a closed shape with green. A complete border can fill its interior with cubes.
  • Manipulate the existing chain with yellow. Yellow introduces moving cubes along a connected arrangement.
