"The game has two main modes. Much like in The Incredible Machine,
users can solve a variety of puzzles using a limited selection of
parts or tinker with the freeform mode. Widget Workshop focuses more
on the freeform mode than the other game.
Unlike the Rube Goldberg nature of The Incredible Machine, the parts
in Widget Workshop are not mechanical or physical. Items include
display boxes, graphing windows, random number generators, and
mathematical tools ranging from addition and subtraction to Boolean
logic gates and trigonometric functions. The arrangement of the items
on screen doesn't matter, but the connections do: a numerical constant
box could be connected to a mathematical function; connected to a
graph, which would display a horizontal line; input as a color value
on an RGB monitor; or even used to trigger a sound effect."
