DumbBots: Hello World

☀️

DumbBots: Hello World doesn't have the best block coding system, or the highest quality models, or good animations, or the ability to be racist. Actually that last one is not true. However DunbBots is just the kind of game I am looking for, and I think it may even have some utility to people who are completely unfamiliar with how code works. Out of all the block coding exercises I have done for school or for fun this is by far one of the best, funnest, and advanced ones I have seen. There are some issues, for example you can set an IF statement based on the distance that you are from an object, so you can say if the bot is either Long. Medium, Short, or close range to do a specific action. Problem is that it is not specified how far those distanced actually are. I also believe that they could make things a bit more clear. Does a pickup action only pick up the object or does it make the bot go to and then pick up an item? After a while of trying to fix my block code I started to think that it was the previous, the problem is that there is no action to tell make your bot move to a medkit or weapon. Perhaps it is the ladder, and it is supposed to make bots go to and pick up am item but the game is not working correctly, but the simpler answer is lack of sleep on my part. Along with if statements which make up the bulk of the code side of the game, you can use else or else if statements, which if you know anything about code or are not a DumbBot yourself then you most likely understand what that is, if you are a DumbBot than hopefully the game can teach you because I am not going to. Some players *cough cough* (Aztec), will complain about the game because the coding logic is basic revolving around if statements so you don't need to actually be a coder to play the game. Some people *cough cough* (Aztec), will also complain that the game is too hard because you have to do block coding. So in summary: DumbBots: Hello World is a demo/free tutorial to DumbBots that will teach you basics of the game and may even teach you something about coding. DumBots: Hello World is also scuffed and people who are literally DumbBots in real life *cough cough* (Aztec), complain about it. The game has about 1 hour of game play if you know what you are doing and probably about an extra thirty minutes to an hour if you don't. While making this review, and playing this game, I have been quite tired. If I have made any errors in the assessment of this game that is probably why, although I doubt I have made as many errors as Aztec. I will be buying the full DumbBots game on sale now for about fifty cents. If you are interested in other games of a similar premise I would recommend Gladiabots, free on mobile (I think) and about twenty dollars on steam, or Screeps for anyone who can actually code. I have not played Screeps but it looks decent.
