Run Lumicode

- Computer Virus -

Introduction

The Coders do everything they can to keep their planet running smoothly. They do their tasks as best they can. However, the invasion of the Drakonids caused some Coders to stop working properly. They broke down and started executing the commands of the evil Drakonids, acting completely opposite to before. Instead of turning on - they turned off, instead of creating - they destroyed. All this is due to a virus they were infected with by the Drakonids. Healthy Coders still work correctly, but they need the help of someone who will replace the infected Coders in turning on the colorful LEDs, until the malfunctioning Coders are repaired.

Application Instructions

Coders write colorful lines of code every day and in this way delegate tasks to other inhabitants of the planet. Help them complete the code and light up the colorful LEDs by running around the board. But you have to be careful! Damaged Coders are like viruses that constantly erase the glowing LEDs. Hurry up and save the code!
