Very entertaining! Is it aiming to be an intro tool for programming? I think it would work well as one.
Maybe literals (specifically strings) could be introduced a little more somehow.
Maybe @xzoor should have a more obvious human name like @jeff (since it's rather similar to @door)
At one point I forgot a method name, and couldn't scroll back to find it, I don't think it should be a test of memory (unless that's exactly what it is and in which case I deserve all the abuse my robot overloads can give)
- nddrylliog 13y agoThe @xzoor and @door similarity is a fair point - although @xzoor has a kind of emotional sensibility to me, I don't know if could change it. @portal would work for the door, though ;) Non-human names are kinda voluntary. It's a hostile universe, ruled by machines. You're the underdog. You're survining through your coding abilites only. The fight back only begins with Episode 2 (covering subjects like 'cryptography' / 'security'). About forgetting method names etc: Episode 2 (and updated Episode 1) should definitely have a backlog - your previous responses. That's gotta be the top requested feature.
- abecedarius 13y agoSpeaking of @door, the @ signs seem gratuitously syntaxy. I guess it helps with the machine-world ambience, but much more of that kind of thing in the language would make it easy to stop playing. (I liked the game so far.)
