Very cool! Great idea which fits the theme well (unlike many other games (including mine 😎)). If I would have to give one critique: the clicking sound from the text is cool but it feels a little bad for my ears.

You actually shipped the "Stuck In A Loop_BackUpThisFolder_ButDontShipItWithYourGame" folder with your game.
This was fun! It is a really creative idea. The game kept crashing every time I tried to change color or change shape of an object, though.
Thanks @pietrek - fixed it!
Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). Very creative spin on the theme and actually a beautiful example of how simple graphics can still elaborate a complex puzzle problem. Not even joking, I'll have my kid play this and he'll go bananas ! Well done !
I like the concept of a logical loop, I never thought of that. Any chance of a Mac or Web build?
This was really great! One of my favorites so far. the control scheme was a bit confusing, but the style of the screen layout, and the logic of the puzzles was really fun to think through. I'd love to play a longer, expanded version of this idea.
That's a creative idea, I loved it.
This is really cool! One of my initial brainstorming ideas was "while loop" but I quickly dismissed it because I had nowhere to go with it. This was a lot of fun for me, though being in C-like pseudocode, it may not be as accessible to non-programmers. Some kind of graphical diagram of the code may be good for that.
Also one thing I noticed is that if, for example the loop condition is (numRedObjects < numGreenObjects), then it still doesn't break the loop if numRedObjects == numGreenObjects. Not really major, just something I noticed. Still, full marks from me :)
@shaolin-dave I tried a web build and the UI canvas stretched over the whole screen (despite being set in code to be 50% of the screen width). I added an OSX build, but don't have a Mac to test it on so no idea if it works!
@sven-lowry Your macOX build did not work, but I fixed it for you. You should replace it with this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sc6yojbqiee0x3l/Stuck%20In%20A%20While%20Loop.dmg?dl=0
I really liked this one, was fun and creative, more levels wound've been nice, had a great time! Thanks for submitting it! -PomoTheDog
Concept is great, again the loop being a logical one is very innovative, the most interesting theme take I've seen so far. Controls aren't very intuitive, using the middle mouse button as a primary function is a little weird. I probably would have incorporated keyboard, maybe space key to absorb. Or both, so players could do whatever is comfortable for them.
Thanks @shaolin-dave !
I liked your game my congratulations, I also did one if you want to know, and give me your feedback I am very grateful, this is the link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/resurrection
Holy cow, that's creative! I'm really amazed with this idea, well done. I just wish it was expanded a bit further(more complex conditions instead of just a>b), but of course under the limitations of a game jam that's asking too much. You should consider continuing this game :) It could be a great teaching tool as well.
Great variant of the theme to use a loop as the main instruction to the player, and nice implementation of that idea. We thought about using something similar in our entry, but didn't think of a good mechanic to actually solve the loops. The form and color puzzle solving was a great fit and went well with the code solving on the right. The graphics were clear and readable, but still had a personal touch with the Shape Gun, that was nice, reminded me a bit of portal. All in all a great entry, I had fun.
Very creative game. If you add more levels it would look amazing. :)
I liked the effects, and the game was well executed in the face of the proposal presented, but I feel it could be more emersive, congratulations again for the game, a big hug!
The game crashed my whole PC :(
Smart idea and really clean implementation, especially for a first game! I feel like this could be a little confusing for someone who isn't familiar with code, but I suppose it's pretty self explanatory. If I had any nitpick I think a tutorial would be nice, but I understand it's hard with time constraints. Really great work!
Creative and amazing idea but only for people that are able to undestand code. :-) Was fun to play it.
Really cool concept, also thought about a while loop but couldn't come up with a game. Also nice implementation! Well done! :)
