I love text-based games, also like that you programmed it in python

eggplant 2014-12-08 23:38

Thanks! Python is great for text-base games I think.

Im not a fan of text based games, but it was an interesting idea for the theme.

Thank you!

Hah, that's a new interpretation of the theme. I liked the tone, it sounded like the offspring of GlaDOS and Mr T. This game would be very hard for people without the right geek background -- then again, how many of those play text games? :)

I did cheat by looking at the code, because I wanted to see where it was going, and many of the tests are quite arbitrary and unforgiving.

Works perfectly on my Ubuntu system, for what it's worth. Just run "python main.py".

Thanks man, I appreciate that. I had GLaDOS in mind while my friend and I made this. :)

I admit it. I laughed. A lot. Thank you for this gem. Very well done, and best of luck!

Thanks man, my friend and I specifically decided to shoot for humor on this one. :D

There's no school like old school
Fits the theme perfectly!

Confirmed that the .exe doesn't run on Mac using Wine.
Played this on my desktop, love text-based stuff!

eggplant 2014-12-10 20:23

Thanks Si1ver! And I'm glad you were able to play it BtheDestroyer!

Didn't spect that! It was fun! :)

Every programmer loves putting together the occasional conversation machine. This fit the theme. I'll admit I said "Alright, I get it." outloud once or twice.

Fun and simple, but with good humor!

eggplant 2014-12-19 04:57

Great game, pal. I loved it a LOT!

So, I hope y'all are planning on participating in April next year, eh?

Thank you! And yes, we were planning on it. :D
