Nanotank is programming game which pits your wits as a programmer against the tiny mind of the computer. Your creations (written in a tiny Scheme-like language) will battle for supremacy of the tiny world of the computer. Its a small and simple world, but the nature of the language makes it an extremely open one.
Contains a complete custom tank-controlling progamming language, graphics and some buttons. And a disabled slider bar. Read the README for documentation and instructions.
Stuff I was happy with
----------------------
- I like the concept. It's not that original, but programming little tanks in Scheme-like is actually quite fun (for me).
- The language implementation is pretty solid. I spent way too much time on it, but it's not that horrible.
Stuff I would have done with more time
--------------------------------------
- A better code editor. I recommend editing the code in a better editor and using cut and paste. Also syntax highlighting would be awesome.
- More game mechanics and balance. It's very minimal as it stands.
- Sound and Music.
- Much better language documentation. I had a tutorial planned, but ran out of time.
- Better looking UI.
- Testing on Windows and Mac.
