## What it is
Cube Composer is a browser-based puzzle game inspired by functional programming, written in PureScript. Players solve cube-arrangement puzzles by composing transformer functions like map and fold, learning functional concepts through play.

## Use cases
- learn functional programming through puzzles
- play a browser puzzle game about map and fold
- teach functional programming concepts to students
- practice composing transformations on 2D grids
- find programming exercises disguised as a game

## When to choose
- you want an interactive, playful introduction to functional programming ideas
- you need a free browser game that runs without installation
- you want to extend or create custom puzzle levels in PureScript

## When to avoid
- you need a production game engine or commercial-grade game
- you want to learn a specific functional language's syntax rather than concepts
- you need an actively developed project with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: game-engine
- domain: education, programming-languages
- platform: browser
- tags: puzzle-game, functional-programming, purescript, browser-game, programming-exercise, education, game-development, web-server
