1  Developer / Playtesting / Re: Manufactoria: A Game About Putting Robots In Their Place on: April 14, 2010, 03:05:03 PM
Hello there. First of all, awesome game! A couple of suggestions:
  • I assume the ordering of the levels is intended to be easy on the left to hard on the right. Seems like a couple of them are out of place, eg the generals level is trivial but it's way over on the right (and has a really big work area)!
  • Simple examples of accepted/rejected input or transformations (depending on the level type) would be really useful. Not sure that there's room in the UI, so maybe they could go in the ? menu (which admittedly is also full atm Tongue)
  • The level names have no real meaning (or at least not to me :D), so it's difficult to find one you remember doing earlier (I can only remember the content of the levels, not the names)
  • The way you delete things wasn't obvious, maybe you should add that to the help screen, or add a garbage can icon to the UI (which would have the same effect as clicking on the background)?
  • The ability to "single-step" the machine might be useful (although I guess you can sort-of do that with the pause button)
Also, the robotic polar bears level won't accept my machine Cry. It says "This robot should have been accepted, with an output string of (Blue, Yellow, Blue)! Input was (Blue, Blue). Click to continue!" My machine (go-go gadget size=1pt http://pleasingfungus.com/?lvl=26&code=y12:2f3;y12:3f3;q13:4f3;q12:4f3;p12:5f3;r13:5f3;b11:5f3;y12:6f3;c11:6f2;c13:6f0;p12:7f3;q13:7f7;b10:9f2;b12:9f2;r14:8f0;r12:8f0;y12:10f2;c13:10f2;c14:10f2;c15:10f2;y14:7f1;r14:6f2;p15:6f1;b16:6f0;c16:10f1;c16:9f1;c16:8f1;c16:7f1;c11:7f3;c11:8f3;c11:4f0;c10:4f0;c9:4f3;c9:5f3;c9:6f3;c9:7f3;c9:8f3;c9:9f3;c9:10f3;c9:11f3;p10:12f2;y9:12f2;r10:11f3;b10:13f1;q12:12f2;c11:12f2;p11:9f3;p13:8f5;q11:10f1;q15:5f0;p14:4f4;y15:4f0;b14:5f1;r14:3f3;) does output BYB for the first robot!
Anyway, keep up the awesome Wink This could be a really good educational game (why does that always sound so cheesy?) for comp sci students...
