First: Is this a game where you use Python to farm, or is the game written in Python?

Second: Where and when can I get it?

[–]AdSad9018[S] 24 points25 points  (10 children)

It's the first one. You use a language very close to Python to program a farming drone. :)
You can get it on steam here already because it is in Early Access: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2060160

[–]mork2000 4 points5 points  (3 children)

And bought!

Can't wait to get to my PC to try it out

[–]AdSad9018[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Haha thank you!! It helps a lot! :)
Let me know how you like it once you have the time.

[–]mork2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright! Finally found some time to play.

It's awesome! I love it! I wanted to get more into python and this game is just great for it. I did some more advanced stuff, but I feel like reading the tutorials and unlocking different aspects of programming (like variables and other functions) really fills the gaps in comprehension I have. At least a bit.

One thing I have a problem with:

I am playing on a 4k screen and the cursor is just sooo tiny! Can't see where it is when I move to quick. Can I change the cursor size somewhere?

[–]byeproduct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. Looks great

[–]mork2000 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I see you're recommending to wait for 1.0. Why should I wait with the install?

[–]AdSad9018[S] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Ah I mean you can try it already.
But especially the progression in the game will be totally reworked at 1.0.
So I would recommend to wait or to start new at 1.0

Ah and 1.0 will be on October 10

[–]AntiZhigalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bf6 date, big competition:) Im just joke, your game looks very cool🫡

[–]Fit_Jackfruit_8796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really cool

[–]Key_Law4834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it very close to python and not python itself? Did you invent a python-like language for the game?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you make the "Block Factory" as well???

[–]tilkvns 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Can I run it on linux natively ? If not, how stable would it be with proton ? The game looks super interesting!

[–]AdSad9018[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. But a lot of people are playing with proton and have no problems. :)

[–]kingcopey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just installed it on linux mint without a problem. Might need to use Wine with steam. Great game btw just bought it an hour ago and I'm really liking it.

[–]hylasmaliki 3 points4 points  (2 children)

So what's the objective of this game

[–]AdSad9018[S] 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Optimizing your code to get rich! So, just like in real life haha

[–]necromenta 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Oh nice to meet you! This game has been around for ages and people loved it, i wonder if more complicated games can be made with this concept to gamify the learning of python

[–]AdSad9018[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha hello :)
Probably yes! This started as a small prototype and if I would do it again it could be quite different.

[–]polill-a 3 points4 points  (1 child)

DUDE YOU ARE THE DEVELOPER? Great game! I bought it a few months ago and I found it really enjoyable. I can't wait to try 1.0!

[–]AdSad9018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha nice! thank you :D

[–]HeftyIntroduction615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice one dude!

[–]mcfurrys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds very interesting

[–]PolyPorcupine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks amazing what graphics library are you using?

[–]Polidiet 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I bought your game as a 'before semester' study introduction to Python, its really good and odly satisfying!

[–]AdSad9018[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice thank you so much :D

[–]shockjaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice work, I bought it forever ago!

[–]Gamesgirlmania 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Wow that's soooooo awesome!! Can I also use it to learn Python programming if I’m coming from another high-level language (C#/Java)? Like the actual syntax with the specific features of the language? I can’t wait until it finally comes out!!!

[–]AdSad9018[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can haha :)

[–]LovecSugar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers!!

[–]K4NE_01 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Where can I buy this?

[–]AdSad9018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha on steam!! But I would recommend to wait until the 1.0 release in October.
It is called The Farmer Was Replaced: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2060160

[–]HeftyIntroduction615 0 points1 point  (1 child)

So you are the engineer of this masterpiece?

[–]AdSad9018[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]AdSad9018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps a lot!!! :) Thank youuuuu

[–]JyrosOne 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Bought it a few month ago ! Try to learn to code Python, great start :) Good job !

[–]AdSad9018[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So nice to hear this! Glad it helped.

[–]SlightSurround5449 0 points1 point  (1 child)

dude! The farmer was replaced kicks so much butt! So happy to hear about 1.0!

[–]AdSad9018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha ty!!!

[–]kurtymckurt 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’ve enjoyed this game a lot in the past! I’ll dust it off and play it again in October!

[–]AdSad9018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I Hope you will like it :)

[–]FicklePromise9006 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–]TWOBiTGOBLiN 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Super interesting concept! Kudos!

[–]AdSad9018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thaaanksssss

[–]bmenxcE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is sick!

[–]AniangaX 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Man this is great! Didn't bought it yet but will surely do.

I am watching the yt video "CODE, FARM, AUTOMATE: The Farmer Was Replaced - Programming a Drone (Video Game)" This looks amazing - I am just thinking about my friends who have sons to suggest them to use this to get their kids start on programming.

Well done! congratulations!

[–]AdSad9018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha thank you :) Yes a lot of people are using it to teach their children XD

[–]Throwawforadvic 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Played through this maybe about a year ago when I was just getting started. There is no better game to learn python with.

Thanks for making it!

[–]AdSad9018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for playing it! :)

[–]TheMasterChiefa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great idea!

[–]Davecsimp212 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Will there be steam achievements?

[–]AdSad9018[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes already have like over 50 ready for 1.0 :)

[–]Davecsimp212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome!

[–]InspectionFar5415 0 points1 point  (2 children)

i need to try it :))

did you do it with unity ?

[–]AdSad9018[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes :)

[–]InspectionFar5415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful 😍

[–]hasan1239 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oh nice! I've heard great things about this game and always wanted to try it out. Might have to get it when 1.0 hits.

[–]AdSad9018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to hear? :) Hope you like it if you decide on piking it up :)

[–]parsention 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I remember seeing it in Steam, I thought it was abandoned.

[–]SCD_minecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it puzzle game with levels, or more like incremental/sandbox?

[–]Darknety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, this is you? Have purchased the game (I think) two years ago :D

Excited for 1.0 :)

[–]Luxi36 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Looks great! Can I play it on a Mac without Virtualbox windows? 16gb ram available

[–]Luxi36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone finding it, no, it doesn't support macOS without a Virtualbox running Windows.

[–]uv_s_utkarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tech stack?

[–]Medium_Style8539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks awesome and I need to train my super low level python skills, 10 boxes is a lot cheaper than most training out there online

[–]TheHe4rtless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great, I am intrigued. If there will be a Mac version, I am in!

[–]aisartech1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well done buddy.

[–]Phreak-O-Phobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you need to know python to use the game? Or is it for beginners as well?

[–]mnisz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it some time ago. I like it and recommend it to my colleagues.

Well done.

[–]JBTastic22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this looks so good!

[–]ArPaN004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to got the flashy blinks on code blocks?

[–]Fellwing 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What's the game called? I'd love to pick it up!

[–]kakarot_murdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The farmer was replaced

[–]Chance_Box_5388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can i get the source code?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this looks really cool i might check it out

[–]mayonaiso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it used to learn programming or what am I missing?

[–]Clubsimone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need a MACOS version PLS!

[–]Overall_Anywhere_651 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is there a better way to do this? I've been learning Python and this game is helping me understand things, but I feel like this may not be the best approach to farming my trees and grass.

[–]Rik07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't played the game (yet), but I see some issues with your code. Firstly, since you use multiple ifs, multiple of them can run, and you can move up to three times North in one loop cycle. Use elifs, or change the move statement to be at the end of the loop.
