Elevator Saga – An elevator programming game • Hacker News Board

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.

This is incredible. I've been successfully nerd-sniped away from work. Also nice touch w/ the time-scale factors being Fibonacci numbers :) Great work.

This is awesome, however is there any way to get better syntax errors? Damnit Jim, I'm a C programmer not a Javascript coder!
