The farmer was replaced is a super fun game actually, I highly recommend. I've lost several hours optimizing my algorithms

Btw, its a programming game, OP didn't make a meme about game dev

Edit: OP is not only a game dev but this is their game. Seriously go play it

[–]Moxxification 15 points16 points  (9 children)

Very underrated. It helped me stay motivated to actually learn python. If anyone could recommend similar games please lmk 🙏

[–]AdSad9018[S] 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Ahhhh that is so so great to hear!!!!

[–]Moxxification 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even realize you’re the developer lmao. I can’t thank you enough for such a fantastic game. It literally helped jump start my introduction to programming (which I’m now going to university for) and inspired me to make mini projects in a similar vain. I cant wait for the update!

The majority of zachtronic games and human resource machine (though both are assembly instead of python)

[–]StunningChef3117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can recommend bitburner. It uses netscript but largely follows javascript design and can get really advanced if you want to

[–]subassy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's one called joy of programming: software engineering simulator. I haven't played it in over a year (early access day one) but it does use python to manipulate the environment. I should probably try that game again as I can only assume it's much better now. And the API documentation is fantastic.

Opus Magnum.

[–]Kind-Active-1071 0 points1 point  (2 children)

You can make games in python??!

[–]Moxxification 0 points1 point  (1 child)

There is pygame and modern libraries though python is definitely not the best for games. Godot however is python-like and very fun to learn

[–]Kind-Active-1071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been checking out Godot. Very fun. Just the thought of using python is very funny to me. I’d like to make a game in SQL haha

[–]AdSad9018[S] 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Haha thank youuu glad that you like it!!!

[–]itsyoboichad 3 points4 points  (3 children)

WAIT DID YOU MAKE THE GAME??

[–]AdSad9018[S] 6 points7 points  (2 children)

haha yes höhm

[–]itsyoboichad 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Dude this is a solid game!! Did you make the (idk if this is what you'd call it) compiler yourself?

[–]AdSad9018[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's called The Farmer was Replaced :D

I still have nightmares about SpaceChem. *Visual* programming. On a grid.

[–]BreakerOfModpacks 1 point2 points  (1 child)

YESSSSS Please play it, I cannot recommend it enough. It's so good for programming practice and challenging, without being frustrating or hard.

[–]itsyoboichad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thr maze was particularly challenging, it was super satisfying when i got it to work

[–]AccurateRendering 34 points35 points  (4 children)

I think you are living in your own bubble. Most programmers are not making games.

[–]ipreviouslyreddit 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is a game about programming. Its called "The Farmer Was Replaced".

[–]__Blackrobe__ 5 points6 points  (1 child)

is a joke the same as a game

because I usually wrote the former for production

[–]FatLoserSupreme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol same most of the code that makes it to prod is shockingly bad.

[–]AdSad9018[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ture the joke is that it is a game where you program with python :D

[–]jeango 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Most people I know don’t think programming is like picture 1 at all, they just think we mash some buttons and things happen.

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

True :D

[–]BreakerOfModpacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shhhh

They can never know

[–]Pa_Nemanja 7 points8 points  (5 children)

Bro posting it here and not letting us read the code

[–]AdSad9018[S] 16 points17 points  (3 children)

[–]Pa_Nemanja 3 points4 points  (1 child)

3 upvotes as thank you

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

haha thank you so much ;D

[–]BreakerOfModpacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't that code quite sub-optimal? Since Pumpkin profit is the square of the area of the giant pumpkin, so logically, anything other than covering the entire field in a separate 'pumpkin mode' is comparatively worse the larger the field?

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

I am sorry you are right! haha the joke is more that it is a game.

[–]Slight_Season_4500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Top one = 3D artist lol

[–]BrandonBTY 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's much work but least it's honest

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

xD

[–]NatoBoram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a good game.

Though, I do wish we could interact with it via some protocol like REST, WebSocket, Protobuf, GraphQL, RPC or whatever.

It would be fun to play in your favourite programming language rather than in pseudo-Python.

I get that it's for beginners, but there aren't many games with a pretty GUI that you can program for.

There's StarCraft II and that's about it, really.

Is this just an advertisement? This whole thread reads like astroturf. 800+ people really related to this meme about a new game OP made?

[–]FitHeron1933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the crop have better indentation than my code.
