Do you usually just jump into the engine and start bumping around, or do you actually write the stuff out first?

I'll write stuff out. I have the notebook that this came out of. It's just a bunch of random sketching of the idea that's illegible, completely incomprehensible. But I basically tried it out a couple of times.

So one of the ideas was to have, on top of being able to do this system of select four sequence types to figure out what the outcome is, that an additional level of complexity for higher tier puzzles would be that your four actually duplicate. So running a sequence of those four and then running the first two of the sequence, the last two of the sequence, and then those four, and I end up with eight numbers. So that's all very confusing until you start actually playing with it. And it makes it basically now you're playing three games of Mastermind. So if this ever ended up being too easy, fear not. It can get way crazier.
