This fits the bill perfectly for https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/bounceball/call-for-technological-oddities

Haha this is great. You guys have to show this to Mike. Your game is like a weapon against https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/ludum-dare-dot-com A very cool project guys and it's also comedy gold!

Thank you very much! @king-kujito

I love this in theory, but when I start it up I can hear the music, hear my typing, and see the blinking cursor... but my text is missing. Does the game expect a certain font to be installed?

Windows 7/x64, Java version's admittedly a bit old. (Can grab it if you need it.)

UPDATE: This worked on my Windows 10 laptop... might have been a font issue.

@cppchriscpp, please, make sure that your keyboard layout is english. I had the same problem, trying to type russian letters.

Will see, what is bad with the music. Did it write something to the console? Here is the song: https://soundcloud.com/egordorichev/music-for-ludum-dare-38

On the Mac, the editor doesn't work right; as you move the cursor around the file, it inserts random invisible characters into the file at the cursor point (as well as moving the cursor). The result is that the file is no longer syntactically valid.

That said, this is very creative and weird. I really dig the aesthetic, even if I wasn't really able to use it.

This is pretty cool! I encountered a crashing bug when I tried to run some Lua code with that had a typo though.

james-dunlap 2017-05-05 03:52

Pretty cool. Love the music!

Thanks everyone for the feedback! We're going to look into these bugs!

I managed to get this working on my laptop and found it pretty amusing. Silly, but fun. I think my issue may have been a missing font. Keyboard layout is us/english, and I couldn't get any characters to show up.

My Windows 7 desktop had the issue above, but my windows 10 laptop didn't. I'm wondering if perhaps it's an issue with a missing font. At any rate, not an issue for me anymore! Thanks for a fun game.

@cppchiscpp, thanks! Font is build-in bitmap image, so there shouldn't be any errors :) Any way, that is Windows :) Thanks for feedback!

Wow, I had to re-remember some of my shell commands. Definitely an interesting idea for a game, good job

sararycow 2017-05-15 14:40

Cool idea, I really like this tools/toys where you can do anywhere as you want. It prooves coding is a game itself.

Hehe, this is so cool. I loved both mini games, the pong and the hacking RPG like battle. I must admit that I didn't really feel like doing programming in LUA but you deserve big thumbs up for implementing both the language APIs and the "gimp" editor, very nice! Being a sysadmin I wish I saw more games like this and I was glad to find your post on the site today even though I remember seeing this while the jam was ongoing.

Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

egordorichev 2017-05-16 14:18

@hierophant, @sararycow, @cvetk0, thanks for your reviews!

rudra-nil-basu 2017-05-16 14:38

Some really creative work here, well done!

gael-philippe 2017-05-16 14:39

Cool ! I love the music too !

(PS : We are five votes short... I would be pleased to have a review ! : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/locker-c-18)

Interesting game! In my opinion not really relevant to the theme, but great job anyway :smile: I also still need a few votes, I hope you could rate my game too! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/earth-invaders
