Sergei has a virus for you. To avoid being caught by an antivirus, he has a few requests for you. Shapeshift your code from a simple python script to something no antivirus will ever catch! (Between you and me, I think Sergei's trying to get you to write Haskell)
Original Theme, good design. I had troubles scrolling up and down at the game-screen and web browser, scrolls all together so maybe a fullscreen option could be better, also for more natural gaming. I had fun with it, maybe a non programmer will not understand it xD.
Fantastic take on the theme. My brain is too asleep to properly solve these puzzles, but the innovation of concept and quality of execution are plain to see. Good job! :)
I love the programming challenge concept ! It took me a long time to fulfill all constraints, but I made it to the end (despite I'm a noob in Python), very good entry for me !
This is such a cool concept for a game, but it really feels like the kind of game that would benefit from a hint system. I understand enough coding logic and python syntax to get /what/ I should be doing, but not how. =(
Even if the hints were written elsewhere instead of in the game proper (so as not to break narrative), I think that would be an excellent finishing touch.
Wow! I'm not a programmer at all, but I managed to solve two puzzles using some Python tutorials. This game was good for my self-esteem and therefore a lot of fun :D
Thats a very new different idea and i liked it! Do a game about shaping a python code in order to fix random stuff is really something new here. good job!
@tmpxyz: it does, but an exception is thrown when we run out of chunks left to download, at which point we just assume means that the download is over and continue (using the try/except).
A friend came up with that beautiful solution to task 6, so I take no credit for it :P
well I've spent an hour on this game and I'm blocked on the third, Sergei says it's not working correctly but it's just impossible to debug without a debugger, my python skills are what they are... It was fun (I spent an hour on this.. ;) but it's surely not a game for everyone! anyway I really enjoyed it and it's an innovative approach to the theme
The concept is interesting, I like having to tweak some code according to certain limitations. The only frustrating things is that you can not really run the code to checks its output or anything else, it feels a bit like working in the dark. Apart from the game is pleasant to play.
I gave up at 4/6. I have nowhere near the required knowledge of this language, and at this point searching for answers at google has grown frustrating enough. Turns out Python does not have half of statements and constructs I was expecting. Humor is 11/10, but only for the programmers :P
Hi! You posted a comment in our game saying that we ripped off Portal 2 sounds, which is not true. Not cool, man. We recorded and edited the robot voices by ourselves (We used my voice which kinda have a strange-high-pitch going on already). We did took a look at tutorials to make it sound more Glados-ish. Thanks for your comments though.
This is really funny and a brilliant idea. Only downside is feeling like a terrible programmer for not being able to make it past puzzle two. I've been doing this for years, dangit, I should be able to solve a simple while loop! :P
Absolutely fantastic game, had a load of fun with this one :) perhaps a little bit short, I'd love to see more missions and challenges to complete, but what you have here is great by itself. Well done!
That's amazing ! I haven't coded in python for long but got until removing the conditionals (and for some reason lambdas are not working :P) I didn't play a game like this before and would love having a one for Java :P (psst.. yes you! , do it if you know Java,please..!)
@abuzreq It'd be cool to have one for Java, but Java is strongly typed and also doesn't let you get away with the same types of crazy things that python lets you get away with! :P
@dcolgan I wasn't too strong with functional programming myself, which is why I had to ask a friend of mine to help me with challenge 6 :P. Have you seen the solution he came up with (it's linked in the starting pop-up)? It's fantastic.
My favorite entry of LD35... I laughed out loud when Sergei made his final request.
My only complaint is that the coding window can't be resized. By the end, I had a line over 200 characters long, and it was a little unwieldy to have to scroll to edit.
Humor would be 5/5
