#22If you accidentally make an infinite loop, you can no longer load the page :(
Good find!
Clearing cookies/localstorage should fix that for you, at least until the devs figure out a fix :)

#23Very fun game. After playing for a while I did of course look for a way to break it.
{ init: function(elevators, floors) { console.log(window.world); }, update: function(dt, elevators, floors) { _.each(window.world.users, function(user) { if(user.done) { user.removeMe = true; user.trigger("removed"); user.off("*"); }else{ user.done = true; user.trigger("exited_elevator", 0); } }) } }

#24How do I store global state (if at all)?

#25How do I store global state (if at all)?
It's JavaScript, everything is a global! (so long as you don't declare it with var)
Re: Elevator Saga – An elevator programming game
#26Slightly related question: are there any standard workloads and tools out there for experimenting with elevator programming? My apartment building has a utility elevator and two normal elevators. Each floor has two sets of call buttons. These have been programmed in different ways over the years, and I've always been curious if there was a good way to quantify the changes.

#28Wow. I want so many more of these kind of things for my kids. It's so close to using code to solve real problems. How about an assembly line version where many parts have to come together in the correct order? Or an air traffic control one? Subway scheduling? Pizza delivery? More please!

#29Accessibility to non-programmers though as a good and inspiring learning tool? Or is that not an intended purpose?
Re: Elevator Saga – An elevator programming game
#30Nitpick. Accidentally programming an infinite loop kills the page. Refreshing restores the offending code and immediately does it again. Had to clear cookies to get going again?
Just drop in a while (1) {} to reproduce.
