Went to check it out, it has a demo so it's worth giving it a shot, but then I went to look at what else this developer has published just to find it's the guy behind the original jelly car games?? Which they have a sequel to on their steam page and the music instantly sent me back. This became a huge nostalgia trip on accident, thanks for sharing!
The description reminds me of 'that turtle program' I encountered as a child...<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language)</a><p>Hopefully this program also helps teach children new ways of thinking. As a suggestion, any sort of 'building blocks' graphical script language that doesn't need words?
The 2D version of this coding game would be tixy: <a href="https://tixy.land/" rel="nofollow">https://tixy.land/</a> , <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=tixy.land">https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=tixy.land</a> , <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43942881">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43942881</a> , <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24974534">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24974534</a>
That's nice because it's a programming game, but it doesn't send you in the deep-end. Whatever you do appears on the screen pretty much instantly, so you get that constant feedback loop, it's like a 3D voxel REPL.<p>Many programming games got complex real quick and frankly annoying. I like this model, it's simple, if you let it through, it's a block, return a number for a colour.
i initially found this game through the developer's tiktok account - they've got some great marketing over there.<p>ended up getting the demo and i'll probably be buying the full game
I don’t usually like programming games but this looks genuinely interesting. As I saw others mentioned the similarity to the thinking required for using OpenSCAD or writing shaders makes this extra interesting for me because I suck at both of those things.
