Build-a-Toy Workshop

You've been tasked with building toys for the local toy maker! His toys are a bit different than the average toy. They're all built using a special series of machines.

Gather Materials

At the assembly line, use the claw machine to gather the materials needed. Don't worry if you forgot the ingredients for the toy, the toy maker forgets all the time too. That's why he installed a convenient button to help remind him what materials he needs.

Design the Circuitry

Using the circuit board, design the circuitry that will be used in the toy. Spin the board pieces so that the battery connects to the motor so the toy can turn on. You may need to use repeater pieces to get enough power to make it all the way to the end.

Program the Toy

The toy maker's toys are all programmed using high-tech code. Don't worry, the toy maker design a super intuitive programming language called "Code Glyphs". Arrange the code glyphs in the right order to program the toy. If you make a mistake, the compiler error will tell you what you did wrong.

Quality Assurance

All of the toy maker's toys are tested to make sure they function properly. That means you have to get to play with all the toys! Quality assurance is one of the reasons why Build-a-Toy can boasts a 100% satisfaction rate.

Not sure if the formation of program board is randomised, I'm stuck here a bit and cannot figure out a route for mine. But the gameplay is fun! 

Some parts of the coding section are randomized. So the answer is different each time. The color and sound the glyphs make are cues to help solve it. There's also a help button on the bottom left corner.

I am stuck here "section 3. Very fun gameplay!"

I can't give the answer because it is randomized. There is a help button on the bottom left of the screen though. The key is to watch the colors and listen to the sounds of the code glyphs. It gets progressively harder with each toy.
