Wire Spaghetti link bug?
I think I've hit an insurmountable bug on Wire Spaghetti. This is the Steam version of the game running on Windows 10.

I lay down a programming block, a counter and 6 registers. The registers get links 0 through 5 with no problem. The counter gets link 6 as instructed, and is both hooked up to the block and set to count by 4. Again, no problem.

But the dialogue at the start of the level says to attach link 7 to the level output, and this is where things go wrong. I hook it up, but when I run the simulation I get an error message saying that link 7 should go to the level input instead. But there's no anchor point for links on the input so I can't connect it at all!

I don't see how to fix this and I don't think the game will let me progress any further. Any advice?

What does the error message look like? The game shouldn't require you to connect to the Level Input.

The message is "Argument 7 means read from input, but input is not enabled."

Note that 7 is hooked to the output.

7 when it's an argument should be hooked up to input; 7 when it's destination should be hooked up to output
0 7 7 7 means "add input to input, and save to output", where first two 7s are inputs, and the last 7 is output

Yes, but:

1) like I said, I can't link to input because there's no anchor point to attach links to, and

2) how do you have one link connect to two different components at the same time?

this doesn't talk about linking - it's specifically talking about enabling input with wire signals
altho there may be bugs with error messages, so you should confirm which instruction is actually expected right now

You don't need to link to the input, you need to connect wires to it.

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks.

The instructions could have been clearer on this point.
