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!

Literally my favourite game of this year, thanks so much for making this!

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.

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.

And yet you can make it as deep as you like, thanks to the presence of leaderboard. In fact, some code golfers including me quickly jumped into the wagon ;-)

Add a 4th dimension, time, woo!

It's a lot like shader programming. I guess one could argue it is shader programming.

Good point I didn't see it that way, but that's a perfect analogy.

The description reminds me of 'that turtle program' I encountered as a child...

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?

I am excited to see coding become more and more of a creative medium as AI frees up from the monotony of crafting business logic slop.

i initially found this game through the developer's tiktok account - they've got some great marketing over there.

ended up getting the demo and i'll probably be buying the full game
