#2Hey all,
I've been working full-time on a game called Bot Land for the last four years, and it just launched: https://bot.land/ In the game, you can make bots with a Scratch-like interface called Blockly or use a subset of JavaScript. Either way, bots are fully automated.
Here are some screenshots of the game: https://imgur.com/a/Rs2OWFg
Almost all of the development process (~5000 hours) was streamed live on Twitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS5Va996Exg&list=PLSM9PbIe-9...
It's free to play, so please try it and tell me what you think!

#4Woah congrats. I have watched a stream or two of yours and it looks really interesting.
I really liked your marketing document and think others might find it really useful, hope you don't mind me linking it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TiSmB7IaWpIf_7cUWzk7GAtR...

Nice. I had a idea a few years ago, but never got around to working on it. Let me know if you ever want to buy the aifighter.com domain off of me.

#7Congratulations, looks awesome.
I had an idea for similar kind of game where you are a wizard and program your own spells. The mechanics would be inspired by how magic works in The Dresden Files[0], where you draw in magical energy, transform it and then use it in some way. Maybe one could connect it with linear logic and programming.

CodeSpells combines magic and programming. It gathered quite a bit of hype early on, but I didn't really follow it's progress since.

That reminds me of 'Midnight at the Well of Souls' by Jack L. Chalker:
