Nice literal take on the name. I was a bit lagging on some of the levels, I'll try to see if I can play it on another machine.

There seems to be some problem with the screen not updating on Chrome on linux, maybe other platforms too. I'll see if I can fix this tonight.

Pretty fun game! You got a whole lot done in the 48 hours, it shows because of the amount of levels included! Great work!

I did get quite a bit of lag on the larger levels, too. My machine isn't the greatest spec beast though ;)

A few people have complained about performance so I made it about twice as fast with performance tweaking today. I didn't change anything else about the game. I couldn't figure out what was going on with the screen updating thing; I think it is actually a bug with that implementation of Flash.

Thanks for playing and enjoy! :)

It's fun. And yes I suffer lag too :D The concept of letter is interesting.

6 stars for the music. That intro music. oh my GOD. Fantastic take on the theme too. This is a really impressive game for all sorts of bizarre reasons that I happen to love. Amazing!

I love it, unlike anything I've ever seen. Very very cool.

That was crazy! You had this cool funny song being sung by an obvious human, but the explanation of how the rules work is obviously the work of a robot.
Very innovative.

The applet window is too tall for my screen, even with the browser running in fullscreen mode (my screen's only 800 pixels high). 10" netbooks may only have as little as 600 pixels in height, so you might be better off limiting your height to 500px or so.

The title screen song is hilarious. I let it play all the way through before I started the game. Ctrl+M (OSX) didn't work to mute the in-game music which, while pretty good, got repetitive pretty quickly.

I got a little confused and skipped the tutorial levels thinking I'd already been through the tutorial after the introduction. Even going back through the tutorial levels, I never completely figured out the rules notation. I got stuck in the tutorial.

The in-game music got a little overbearing after a while, and ctrl+m didn't seem to work (OSX).

I love this! It is a very good feeling to try to wrap my head around the text based rules while enjoying the awesome music. It is amazing to see all the variety of behavior that comes out of these simple rules, and then the rules are right there and you can edit them and share them and this game is perfect!

Note: In flash on mac, "control" means "apple key". This was confusing to me too. :)

I love the theme song at the start! :D

This is really cool. I also love the music. I like the addition of level editor.

Fantastic music and really fun puzzle gameplay. Loved it.

Incredible. This is awesome :D

Interesting! Some of the puzzles were a bit obtuse due to the way the rules have to function in ascii, but it's a neat idea

This is an amazing concept for a game. I love that you can build your own levels, complete with your own rules. A basic concept like "search and replace" has been expanded into a fun and unique game. 5 stars overall!

AMAZING entry. Way too creative. Loved the intro theme and the in-game music. I'm guessing it may be a little bit too hardcore for more traditional game dudes (casual gamers will probably fail to enjoy something like this) but for me it was fun as hell (figurative). Kudos!

I really like all of this. The theme music is probably my favourite bit, though.

This just made me want to burst with awesomeness overload. I'll have to come back and make a level some time.

VERY clever entry. I like the way that these simple rules produce such variety of outcomes.

High marks for innovation, but it was a bit confusing.

Incredibly innovative, but I had a very hard time grasping the gameplay mechanic. Loved the title song!

This is hard to rate because I love it so much and I don't really know why.

Incredibly innovative. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the way rules work, but a very very clever idea.

ARE YOU A QUANTUM PHYSICS

T in Y World changed my life.

But not necessarily for the better.

T in Y World made me invest in teleportation technology.

T in Y World isn't a game, it's actually a thesis on life, the universe and everything written collaboratively by all Nobel physicians that have ever lived, that are presently alive and that have yet to be born.

All my life has been a waiting room for this event: http://i.imgur.com/9Mqjp.png

T in Y World made half of the atoms in my body disappear.

T in Y World had sex with my mother a couple of decades back.

Man, I can't wait for T in Y World.

Mom, I can't sleep without T in Y World.

Aww, I'm sorry darling, here's your very own T in Y World.

Thanks mom, now I can finally dream the eternal dream, after 23,000,000 years of waiting.

Without T in Y World, the Earth would start spinning the other way.

T in Y World is a filthy, lying whore.

Thanks to T in Y World, the world is running out of alphabet.

Now we will have to develop telekinesis to communicate.

On the other hand, who needs communication when we have T in Y World? You can go tell that to Martha Bailey in Texas. Without communication.

I fed T in Y World to my dog.

T in Y World trapped me in the comments section.

I hope the sun explodes.

Not our sun though, that would be silly. I mean the one on the opposite end of Milky Way.

Wait. I -am- on the opposite end of Milky Way.

This is the right time to pray to T in Y World, which is, any time at all.

Sometimes there is no time because T in Y World hoards it all to itself.

Then we will simply have to make our own time using duct tape and searingly hot lava.

And fail miserably. Mom, my time is going backwards.

Shut the fuck up daughter, I'm trying to sleep.

And by sleep, I mean bringing your dad's T to my Y, if you know what I mean.

Thanks to T in Y World, I'm located 30 feet above myself.

When I grow up, I want to be T in Y World.

wait shit is this even the right comments section

"Every comments section can be the right one if you just learn to free your mind." -T in Y World

"What is the sound of one hand clapping?" -T in Y World

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." - T in Y World

"Yeah, uhh, I think I'll have a double cheeseburger. Hold the onion though, it always makes me fart." -T in Y World

"""Everything for everyone" -Ron Paul" -T in Y World"

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Always remember to escape your quotes properly"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" -Quote Man, a superhero alias for T in Y World

As Quote Man, T in Y World once saved the universe from certain doom. They forgot to escape a quote when writing the laws of physics.

The result would've been a reality with infinite gravity where everything is flat and constantly kind of hungry even though it just ate.

My god is an edible one.

Mom, mom is bullying me.

Don't worry daughter, I'll summon Quote Man to make her stop.

""G'day madame, Quote Man in your service"-- OH SHI--

And that was the end of Quote Man.

The fate of chemistry classes still remains unknown, though.

But presumed TASTY AHHHAHHHAHAHAHAH

T in Y World cured my cancer.

Then it gave me AIDS.

Then it turned me into a 5-dimensional hypersphere.

With cancer, AIDS and Asperger's.

And lasers coming out of my orifices.

Some of which I'd never known I've had before.

My avatar is a 2-dimensional photo of the 5-dimensional hypersphere.

NO T IN Y WORLD. ONLY KHLAV KALASH.

Thank you Mario! But our T is in another Y!

<Jiggawatt> I should've known that, I'm a T IN Y WORLD connoisseur.
<Jiggawatt> Every weekend I retreat to a closet and stare at different types of T IN Y WORLD.

Whenever I sneeze, some T IN Y WORLD comes out. Is this bad?

I sold everything I own because of T in Y World.

As well as everything my neighbours owned.

And by everything, I don't just mean expendable property. I'm now just a brain chilling in a vat.

As are my neighbours, so they can't hurt me.

Not until they've had such a hazardous exposure to T in Y World that they mutate the ability to send electro-magnetic pulses with the power of thought alone.

I once thought I launched an EMP, but it was just a blood vessel popping while trying to comprehend T in Y World.

I guess I should add brain spasm to the list of side effects. :)

What a great game. Great idea, art, execution, concept, story, dialogue. It's one of those rare gems of a game where gameplay is king and the production time was spent not on an a vein attempt to imitate life through an unbearable amount of polished polygons but rather on a new, abstract, transcendent metaphor. It screams its love for the medium, and it's a scream of unconditional, complete love.

The audio is great but it gets irritating after a while.

Oh, and the title wins.

Whattheheck? It wants me to install something in French?

Wha? It's a flash game embedded in the web page. There are no downloads or installs.

Woah, this is insane. Incredible that you could come up with such complexity in such a short amount of time. Congrats!

This is SUPER FANTASTIC AMAZING! Love it. I love the rules concept and the fact that it is one big world that gets created by everyone as we go along. I think this is one the few entries I've seen that I'll actually come back to again and again. Brovo, sir, on an excellent game!

The screen had too much height for me, so I had to scroll up and down a little bit. The idea is good, although it did confused me! So much to read :P Music was retro but relaxing AND the main theme it's the greatest thing I've ever heard so far.

Nice, I was having fun before I began to even play.

I'm very happy to see ASCII-art based games - pretty bold.

Really nice. It's amazing how complex things can be made from such a simple concept. I think it's very educational as well.

Loved this! It's also great to be able to share levels with everybody!

Very unique concept, I like how individual letters have their own traits, youve very quickly established a whole other world!

Wow, I... I don't even have words to describe:
-how awesome this game is
-how awesome my experience was
-how the soundtrack overall is awesome
-how difficult it is to play this game and understand it.
-how amazed I am that, so far, no one complained about how difficult it is to understand how the rules work, considering not all of us are programmers.

I love the concept overall. And even more than the concept, how much content you actually included in the game and how the rules were presented. I think you could have made it easier for everyone to understand the rules through more extensive and friendly tutorials, but I guess it's part of the planned experience to make it all absurdly confusing.

Congratulations and thanks for this inspiring game.

That was weird...Cool

Very clever Idea. Took me a while to get the rules.

Good game, really innovative and fun. And I loved the music, haha.

i think you broke my mind, nice game :)

Loved it, very unique.

This is AWESOME! A cool take on cellular automata and player-created levels. Also, the title theme gets into my head and makes me want to wave a lighter. Check out my level, "spark"!

A truly excellent game -- had me smiling throughout. What a joy :)

Fantastic stuff. I got a bit lost once it all opened up, I probably should have done the tutorials. The way the rules are all explicitly shown is ace though. Lovely music too.

Seriously, your introduction is awsome.
The rest of the game is not at the same level but still great.

You did a nice work : bravo !

Really superb entry. Love the production rules based gameplay, I remember zit from years ago and this is a great homage. The presentation is great in terms of the retro ascii art and sound/music. To have this much content in 48hrs is a real achievement. My favourite is the "slime mold". It was a bit confusing which screens are "hub" screens, since they are made in engine, though this maintains the feel nicely. Great work

Mindfuckingly-good! :) +5's left and right.

Music is awesooome! I just wish there was more to the audio, like having the songs change on their own after a while because the songs are great but they do get old.

I think it needs a cheat-sheet for the rules. I will never remember the difference between ) and (, for instance. Having a way to play levels the community makes is sooooo great. I'd give you +5 community, if that was still a thing :). My only complaint here is that it's very hard to navigate the user-made levels; I kept wandering into the same few rooms and "hallways" and got lots of 404 errors.

Wow... I sunk about 6 hours into this game.

5/5 in many of the categories. :D

OMG, Such a nice music!!!

Love this! Fun concept, great puzzles! Well done.

Pure awesomeness! I would love to see the timelapse and the growing of the game, but nevertheless: 5/5 in everything, absoulte number one right now (the best rating I have given in 60+ ratings ;) ).

I don't like to repeat comments, but I don't know what else I could say that hasn't already been said. This is awesome. It's really impressive that you came up with a fun set of rules and simple gameplay that can be fun and addicting in such a short amount of time. Great job.

It's not loading for me, I only get a black screen. Any ideas?
I have google chrome and the latest flash player...

Oh it just took ages and ages to load. Played it now, it's interesting ...

Wow a lot more in-depth than I thought! I like the music and the mechanics but that bomb level is a little too hard. Maybe there should be a difficulty option? Anyways great job!

No princess? :( Really nice game! Impressed that you managed to make the game and get so much content in it for the time limit.

Great puzzle game. I had a bit of trouble trying to grasp some of the final rules, but after some headbutting, I finally got them.

Absolutely amazing and full of possibilities. Excellent job!
