#Sponsored I haven't seriously coded since MySpace was a thing. Luckily, I had the opportunity to play #TheFarmerWasReplaced, & it made it easy to jump into.

My review is up on YouTube!

Okay, hundreds of players are discovering our programming game right now. 👀 But I have no idea where they're coming from! I can see lots of sales from Brazil in the backend, but I can't find the source of this hype.

If you know where this is coming from, I'd love to know! 😅

Start with just a few lines of Python code.
Step by step, your drone automates more of the farm 🌱🤖
Before you know it, your logic runs everything.

Is this how you imagined learning Python?

Metaroot @metaroot.bsky.social · 7d

Skip the boring tutorials ⏳
Here you use Python-like code to control a drone and make everything run by itself 🤖🌱
Learning programming has never looked this fun.

Do you think this is real coding or just a game?

Bonescape is an exploration and trading game I've been working on: The discovery of a giant, verdant boneyard spurs on a flood of explorers, hunters, homesteaders, outlaws and merchants - and you.

Was ist los mit dem Titel von diesem Spiel? 🤨 The Farmer Was Replaced klingt seltsam, ist aber eine geniale Simulation, in der ich Farmdrohnen mit einer Python-ähnlichen Sprache programmiere. 👇

Somehow The Farmer was Replaced taught me how to write a Python-esque program that will play Snake indefinitely on an arbitrary sized-grid, optimizing for maximum length snakes.

I'm pleased with myself. This game is really cool. store.steampowered.com/app/2060160/...

Swiss game devs do have a bit of a farming simulation thing going on. Anyway here's one where you have to program and optimize a drone to farm crops, check it out 👇
