Chicken Processing Unit

(If fullscreen does not work the first time, please use the other full-screen option or retry a couple times!)

Chicken Processing Unit is a semi-idle for-loop type sandbox about putting chickens inside loops in your program, attempting to overcluck your Chicken Processing Unit with as many cluck cycles as you can.

Everything in the game is based around for loops.
- The mouse is the only control, drag and drop things. Scroll the mouse wheel to make the game slower or faster.
- Hit the Play/Run button above the code lines to start a run. Run will end when it hits the last line. Hitting it after that will start a new run.
- You can buy better loops (and other things) with the money that you make by processing/selling things in the loops.
- Each line in a loop needs one cluck to run every iteration, even if it doesn't process everything. So a for (i->3) loop with 2 elements below it will need 3 * 2 = 6 clucks to run, even if the element has a count less than the loop number.
- You can get more clucks by either upgrading your CPU (chicken processing unit) or producing clucks on the fly by using hens and roosters.
- Use roosters to fertilize eggs to produce more chickens. 
- DO NOT SELL YOUR LAST HEN. Use the restart button if you get stuck in an unwinnable state.

This is mostly a sandbox to try out things to try and get high MegaHenz ratings on your processor. Learning is through experimentation - there's many ways to approach upgrading your Chicken Processing Unit!
