crashes when I try to run it.

Very good idea and well put out there

Sorry, I could not run your entry, so I won't rate it just yet. Once it mentioned a bunch of files that were dumped into some temp directories, but after editing them I couldn't make much sense of them. Not sure if this helps at all, but the paths look something like:

\AppData\Local\Temp\WERC259.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
\AppData\Local\Temp\WERD98C.tmp.appcompat.txt
\AppData\Local\Temp\WERD9CB.tmp.mdmp

Infernal: Apologies for asking the obvious, but have you got .NET 4.5 & XNA 4.0 installed?

crashed and couldn't play it! Sorry!

I enjoyed this. It's a nice little turn-based game. I liked the robot voices (they sort of reminded me of Starcraft). I did find that the generated games sometimes screwed you over, like getting a 5-second disaster halfway through a turn. Otherwise, good job!

Very cool idea. It's like the classic "turtle" program but with a goal! I also really like the graphics and sound. Those voice-overs are excellent.

I couldn't win though. I'm not really sure what I was doing wrong :(

Crashed as soon as I opened it also. I do have XNA 4.0 and .net 4.5 installed. Running on Win 7 64-bit.

This one has some soul and mood. Good job!

I really like this game. I'd like to play this game with more robots, more consoles and a more complicated ship system - say, consoles that have to be used in a certain order or during a certain time step. I had a lot of fun playing this!

it looks like a good start to something bigger, but it got old quickly. nice mood overall.

@RustyBrromHandle: Curses - will have to see if I can replicate it.

sengi 2013-08-27 11:16

Simply graphics, but have some nice mood, well done!

ezolotko 2013-08-29 13:12

Great idea, please make this entry into something more.

It's well executed, but I didn't find it too challenging.
It's felt mostly luck dependent.

I liked the concept, although it seems to have some problems on my resolution (1366x768).

Also, is there any way to delete a command before starting the turn?

You can right-click items in a program to delete them.
