1000-BIT

Obfuscation my beloved. I think the game is good enough for what its being charged for, but there are definitely a few issues. I think the breadth of the functions that the game introduces to you are far too many too quickly. There is a lot of implied knowledge of programming required ahead of time (to be expected in a game like this) such as the usage of the else-if function, but the game does not indicate its use beyond "it exists" within the manual. The hardest part of the game so far was just figuring out the syntax that you're SUPPOSED to use with the functions, but the errors are pretty darn vague about this. I think a good solution would be to have a template that you can copy and paste of a function in the keyboard section of the drop down menu that the player can put straight into the code to allow them to learn how to use the functions, before they can freehand the functions later down the line. It would help a ton in keeping the player from getting frustrated at not understanding the vague error codes. Going from task to task is simple enough, but the game does not do a great job of giving you example codes using the boolean or "not" within an example code. I understand that a lot of coding is "learn by doing", but working within a game that is already so obfuscated just makes things harder I think the game has a chance, but not in its current state. Needs better accessibility. Game is probably fine for people who already have a large backlog of programming history and can jump straight into this. I'd say my understanding is intermediate if I am being generous. I'll probably check back in a few months
