We kept the gameplay of the original pretty much intact in the new game. I don't want to spam Hacker News, but since you played the original, I'd love to get your reaction to the reboot: https://chipwits.com

Stacks in ChipWits were very much a result of coding the game in FORTH.

Here's a post I wrote about why I used FORTH to code ChipWits in 84:

The reason I used FORTH to code ChipWits in 84 was twofold. First, it allowed me to develop natively on the 128k Mac rather than buying an outrageously expensive Lisa. Second, I knew I was going to port it to other micros and FORTH was usually one of the first languages implemented on new computers. I eventually ported it to Apple II and C64 and about 70% of the Mac code was easily portable.
