Hey everyone

I've gotten to a point (features wise) in which I'm comfortable showing people my game I've been working on for the past few weeks finally and would love you all to check it out.

It's called Masjien and it's a game about programming. I made it originally to purely teach programming but I've come to realise it can be quite fun for programmers to sort of compete with each other. The concept is simple, I give you the basic stuff you need to program a robot and then you can run your code in the game as AI to battle it out. To get a bit more of an idea of how I do that you can go on over to check the game out on it's page:

I've started doing tutorials on it and hope to continue making them along side the development of the game.

I have no doubt that at this point in development there will be bugs but still, I thought it would be awesome to get some feedback.

Just watched the videos, looks pretty decent. The drag and drop system for the command blocks looked a bit inconvenient, maybe there is another way to build blocks?

Overall interesting project, inviting.

Thanks for the reply:)

Ye making a drag and drop system is pretty new to me heh so I'm not quite sure yet what the best approach of designing it should be. I was considering just constantly modifying it and using my students I tutor as test subjects if there's any shred of decency in that method.

Oh I'd just like to add for anyone reading this post. It should be quite easy to make a mac and linux build for this in theory with it being a java game, I just want to do an inordinate amount of testing with them first. So hopefully this will be multiplatform quite soon.
