Code World

I enjoyed this straightforward programming puzzle game, even if gets a little repetitive after a few levels. The interface and graphics are simple, and the soundtrack is chill focus music with an engaging tempo. For a seasoned programmer, the challenge is mostly going to be in accessing the devices and solving the math puzzle. The first 11 levels consist of sending simple commands to solve the puzzles, which gives you a sense of the mechanics and how the code interacts with the game elements. At level 12 you get the ability to edit code for certain devices going forward, which makes it much more interesting to solve the challenges. As one might expect, the puzzles increase in difficulty as you progress. It looks like there's around 50 puzzles for me to solve, and it has taken me about 90 minutes to get to the 25% mark, counting a couple of coffee breaks and a few minutes AFK to retrieve jewelry from the bathroom sink trap for the girlfriend. I'm inherently bad at solving puzzles and am okay at math, so you might finish the whole game in that amount of time (note: I'm a professional programmer with 30 years experience, so don't believe the myth that you have to be a genius to program. However, I do recommend that you learn some basic plumbing). One caveat/heads-up for the developer: When I enter the settings menu on Windows 10, if I don't apply some kind of change, and instead hit ESC key, the game crashes to desktop. I didn't incur any loss of progress due to this, it was just a little jarring. I can consistently reproduce this, and it's my personal favorite way to exit the game now.

I guess the name "Code World" makes this sound like a game for "learning to code". THIS IS NOT A GAME FOR BEGINNERS. I don't think it matters that much whether you have a lot of experience in Python, as long as you understand how to program and debug without using a symbolic debugging app, and you can use the Internet to look things up. This game will give your brain a workout. And you will sometimes have to research algorithms on your own, and remember how to do algebra. Sometimes you'll need a little platforming skill as well. Overall this is a great puzzle game that makes you think hard. The only drawbacks are minor ones: the UI is kind of sluggish, it seems to be tied to a real scripting engine which enables you to crash the whole game, the visual style looks juvenile, and some of the tutorial wording is awkward. Some players seem to be confused by the "edit()" function which is designed to limit the user to just the puzzle constraints, but most of the puzzles would be subverted without it. Also, there is no way to step through the code nor display intermediate values; but you have a brain that can do all that. RECOMMENDED if you know how to program and you want to test/sharpen your debugging skills. If you are a beginner, come back to this after you have some experience with algorithms.

I'm loving this game but I'm stuck at level 4, I send 47 to the first purple box and nothing happens..? how do I pass this level??

Игра на любителя, игра находится в стадии разработки. Рекомендовать или нет? Ничего сказать не могу, так как это реально на любителя. Все задачи решаются путем написания кода программы. Элементы головоломки присутствуют. Мой обзор игры - https://youtu.be/Z_04NHVv6U0 https://youtu.be/AGRg9W-ubXY

This is a really great idea. If your interested in learning programming, this is a great start. Definitely recommend.

I had technical issues running this game. Given the style of game it should be running smoothly on my rig but far from it. It stutters extremely to the point of it being unplayable. On top of this it doesn't do full screen window or ultrawide resolutions (5120 x 1440). This is on Windows 10, NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti, Intel i9-9900K. Given that this is an old game I don't think it is going to be fixed so I decided to refund.

pretty fun but could use a manual or some tutorial docs. it is only related to programming because you have to read/reverse engineer some existing code to figure out what to do so dont think you are going to create code because this isn't the game for that. this is good for kids and beginners or those of us who like a bit of a puzzle challenge because thats what this is. recommended for those who like puzzles.

its a code puzzler expect math and reading code and trying to figure out someone elses code with out any comments. about as fun as being a programmer at a company that had someone writing uncommitted code. and only ever did basic projects. the game has 50 levels but the idea of showing code and solving for x or adding and subtracting while being fundamental to learning coding never seems to get to complicated. i hope that the developer of this game moves on too more projects / games like zachtronics did. or like "else heart break"

比coredump还难调，语法也不写清楚，纯纯骗钱的

Don't waste your money on this one, even if it goes on sale...
