Really looking forward to this!

I played ChipWIts on my Commodore 64 many, many years ago. Innovative concept at the time to be able to write code within a game. And by using a visual icon language they made it accessible to even those not familar with writing code. Brilliant. Very happy to see ChipWits being revived and upgraded!...

Great demo. Suggestions.

- It would be great if there was a way to tell whether or not you were actually matching the top score in a category, since the chart isn't always precise enough to tell. Or just treating being tied at the best global score as "Top 1%" would give more of an idea at least. (As I understand it, currently it shows a higher percentage in some cases even with the best possible score? Or is there genuinely some hack to e.g. beat Mobilize in less than 59 cycles?) - Would be good to be able to save three (or more...

Profile names

I'd like it if I could just select from a list for the half-names for a Chipwit, but I get that making it random means the randomness is part of the inherent design and there's supposed to be an element of mystery to what you get. That said, I'd really like if there were a listing of what words are available in each category so I know if what I want is even possible. (specifically if the word "Engine" is part of the second list)...
