After one exciting year in Early Access, I am very pleased (and a little proud) to announce the 1.0 release of JOY OF PROGRAMMING and the conclusion of its Early Access phase. This does not mean 1.0 will be the final update. On the contrary: I plan to support JOY OF PROGRAMMING for the foreseeable future and add new levels whenever I have ideas for new challenges. Of course, I also hope the 1.0 release will bring in some new players and our little community will grow with more user made levels (check out the level editor after you're comfortable with the game itself)!
