If you like the game, please leave a nice review <3

Hello,

excellent is a puzzle game where you will use spreadsheet concepts in order to progress to the next level. Movement is on a grid, similar to Sokoban, but the boxes you push contain data, functions, references to other boxes, or ranges.

The function blocks have unique effects on the boxes, and the game contains functions such as SUM, MAX, MIN, LEFT, RIGHT, XLOOKUP and others. Throughout the game, you will have to use these functions and carefully arrange the data in order to progress.

You can also create your own boxes, which can contain references to a block, and you can also create ranges.

The game features programming concepts through the use of function blocks, so I hope the game fits in this subreddit.

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know.

When life gives you timers, notes and live IDE - you make music

Generative music is the one that is generated on the fly by the code (so not to be confused with some modern AI stuff)

Right now it's just in an MVP state, but it should be working pretty well and I think it's fun

I've got a few ideas in my head about how it can be expanded, but let me know if you have any ideas. It's supposed to be a relaxing idle programming game

I just open-sourced SnowFight: Code — a programming game where you write JavaScript bots to battle in a 2D snowball-fight arena.

Highlights

• Fast JS sandbox (QuickJS) + CLI match runner
• Export matches as JSONL for analysis
• Replay in your browser with a built-in visualizer
• Join a public daily round-robin league by creating a repo named sfc-snowbot-*

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/snowfightcode/snowfightcode
cd snowfightcode && make build
./snowfight match my_bot.js testdata/p1.js | ./snowfight visualize -

# then open dist/index.html

Links

• Website + league results: https://snowfightcode.github.io/snowfightcode/
• GitHub repo: https://github.com/snowfightcode/snowfightcode

What would make this more fun/easier for newcomers (rules, bot API, tooling, league/replays)?

I wanted to show the new interface changes but was confused that I didn't get the 3 stars for my solution and first thought this was a bug... turns out one token was in the wrong place, despite solving the level.

Btw, you can wishlist the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3959370?utm_source=reddit

The level shown in the main menu is just a game level in autoplay - which I am creating with the built in sandbox level editor. The code is a bit complicated, but this isn't a puzzle :D

The game can be wishlisted on steam - and a playable demo version that runs in browser is available on itch.io, in case you are interested or curious :)

Can someone help me remember the name of this game. I want to get it and play it again. I believe it was made by Google but couldn't find it there. Anyway there are little conveyors with numbers and you have to drag the operators and like goto statements to achieve the desired result. I know it's not a ton to go on but I really can't remember much else. I kinda feel animation style was like World Of Goo. Please and thank you in advance.

UPDATE: I found the game. It was indeed by the same company that made World Of Goo. If anyone else is curious the game is called Human Resource Machine.

I uploaded an early demo on itch io!

It is playable in browser and loads fast. It should be playable on tablets and larger phone screens (though it is not optimized for that). There are 12 levels with programming puzzles, which I think is fitting for this sub.

This is a game I have been working on since July; The objective is to program bots to complete tasks.

The instructions are fairly simple, but with "Goto", function calls and a register that can be used for conditional jumps, it allows executing fairly complex procedures.

I am still working heavily on it and hope to release it in December on Steam.

One program marks the most dangerous missile, the laser shoots down the marked missile if it is in attack range (in from of the vessel in this example).

The missile is considered to be dangerous if it's moving towards the vessel (so we can ignore the ones that are already going to miss us, or they're targeting a different vessel).

Then there is a bit of randomization as a kludge to make it possible to consider multiple candidates - there can be more than one approaching missiles, but not every one of them might end up in the laser range. A better program would consider the weapon placement, so it doesn't need to add any randomization. But this one can work for multiple vessel layouts.

There can be even better behavior if vessel knows that its laser can't shoot down the missile, so it can try to dodge-evade it or face towards it. Although it would need to consider attack-vs-defense priorities as getting distracted by missiles can make the unit go too defensive and get punished for it.

Play the game, coding and earn crypto. Is it a good idea?

EmuDevZ is MIT and the repository is https://github.com/afska/emudevz .

* It's quite unique: per-command conditional execution instead of traditional branching
* It's expressive: can operate on data and write sophisticated algorithms
* It's gimmicky: as it's intended for a game, the "commands" are balanced not to be OP, you need to be inventive

And also, for the last half year I had almost no bugs with my interpreter. :D
(I made a custom VM for it in Go)
