What’s Zachtronics. Never heard of it.

A game company (https://www.zachtronics.com/) that have made a series of games where you either build machines or write instructions to solve a task. An example is Opus Magnum where you convert input elements to output elements.

The games track things like cycles taken to complete the task, size/area of the machine, and cost. Those scores are shown on separate leaderboards and optimizing for one can come at the cost of another (e.g. faster machines may be bigger and/or more expensive).
