Really fun math game, I now wish i could just spam with spam clicker.

I really like the game! At first I thought I had to reach the goal every single time, but turns out you can just run it multiple times. I think with a bit of juice and some QoL such as sorting your options and greying out those that are empty would have really perfected this game for me.

I would like to know however, what is the point of the ln( _ + 1) operator? the ln(P+1) I get because that's just a decent number in the "late game", but why would you ever want to make one of your variables smaller?

as an incremental game superfan, i hope this wins the GMTK Game Jam.

As a non-coder there was definitely a steep learning curve! Would have been nice to see more examples.

Generally though really enjoyed this game :) Good stuff!

It seemed like a boring game at first. "Another programming game" But it's actually brilliant. Just make it a bit nicer looking next time

This is pretty fun, I appreciate there not being a proper fail state and just letting me experiment with whatever I've built, the only punishment being the hurdle of increasingly bigger goals (Which is enough to motivate me to engage with the mechanics! Hell yeah!). It's a great thinking game about code and math, and any game that makes me crack open desmos to do some graphing is a banger in my book.

My only real gripes are quality of life stuff - I find it a bit annoying to navigate my items, trying to find what I actually have, it'd be nice if empty items were greyed out or something. I'd also like to see the values of my variables after I run my code, or perhaps freeze my code in the middle of a run (Like breakpoints!) - A game about code could only benefit from some built-in debugging tools.

Fun game, impressive that you still got me to enjoy programming after grinding out 4 days of back-to-back code work lol

Spent waaaay too much time on this. 
It was very fun and nice to play. I was just dreaming at one point about a sort system for the items I had because you get lost easily. Maybe : Constant definer / Letters / + / * / others, would have already be super nice. Keeping the rarity colors in the UI also so I find it easily. 
Well anyway, really had a lot of fun, thanks for this entry !

A very fun approach to programming and math! Exponents start to dominate once the number gets big, so other signs seems to be underpowered. Also I don't really see a "loop" in the game? Repeat blocks don't seem to appear in the game, though chaining exponents and seeing the number explode is really addicting for me!

Developer

1. Running the built code is like "Looping", it looks "Scratch". 2. Repeat blocks are rarely to claim... They're just loops.

So I say Thanks!

Great game I like it.

spent too much time on this one, love the concept, very good coding, no glitch or bug even tho it has a lot of interfaces, i would have only ask for some songs, or at least a litte music

Developer

Just a "typing keyboard" sound that triggers on each line run, so I have no idea how to make music πŸ˜…

Game seems simple but is really fun. I thought this game was another idle game at first, but after playing, I was not leaving the game on idle. Great game!

It must be too early in the morning for me to do math because I  struggled, but interesting concept!

Submitted(+1)

Nice work! That was a fun experience. Can’t wait to see what you make next

Submitted(+1)

I didn't think such a concept could be fun, but this game proved me wrong. It's a perfect mix of math, roguelike rolls, and auto-clicker.

The implementation seems sound as well (I'm curious about how "past infinity numbers" are implemented, I'm guessing it's like a custom floating-point number system that allows really big exponents?)

WOW I have no words to describe how amazing this is. I don't like the "sandbox-y" nature of most programming games, and turning it into a roguelike solves that problem beautifully. Easily my favorite game from the jam that I've played so far

Edit: I realized I can press the play button more than once. There's now nothing other than time stopping me from running very inefficient code over and over again. I still like the game but that's...not ideal I think

Loved making my own mathematical Rube Goldberg machine in this game.  There is definitely some play in balancing variable instances with buffs, so that was pretty cool.  I definitely felt the danger of running out of orders of magnitude, though I only ever had to run the loop a half-dozen times or so to get unstuck.

Really fun, you're gonna have the most skewed ratings ever between creativity/enjoyability and artwork/audio. I might've reset 50 times just to see what a legendary operator looks like...

Submitted(+1)

Clever, it was really fun!

Submitted(+1)

Extremely fun, would probably win if it had Audio/Music, might win anyways

Developer

Thanks, I have "typing" audio from internet, but I have no idea how to make music πŸ˜…

Submitted(+1)

It's clever, however I think I'm too stupid for it lol
