New programming course

[Simbax]

Sure, this is how the game works. But that discussion brought me to another problem which I was thinking about lately.

We want amazing programming course and at the same time we do not allow plot elements in it. Like, even something as simple as an enemy is problematic. What about flying? What about researches? What about buildings and robots appearing later in the game? How are we supposed to write a programming course when we can't use 90% of game mechanics because they are... spoilers?! So programming is an integral part of the game or not?! No? Then why are we wasting time on this thread?!

I say we must finally make a decision about what game we want to make and I know this is controversial, but we can't eat a cookie and have the cookie. If this course is going to be a plain boring addition to the game with no integrity to the plot, I don't see the point of creating it, simply because the player would be better off learning from a book than waste time with a game which is not about programming at all.

I'd integrate programming with the missions and half of the people disagree because they can't and don't want to program, they just want to use arrows to beat the game ("programming game", sure...).

I'd make the programming course an addition to the plot and half of the people disagree.

I'd make the programming course completely unrelated to the game, with boring environments where I can't even use half of the stuff in the game, because it would be a "spoiler" and... people agree.

I'm tired of this project. Everyone wants to make a different game. It doesn't make any sense, it can't work that way, we won't achieve anything that way. You know, I don't want to take part in designing this game any more, it's too hard. I'd like to be just given clear tasks like "write this, fix that". Someone end writing the plan for this course or just simply abandon it. I gave you writing permissions for a reason. I'm too scared of doing all this work and then someone coming in the end saying "we can't do something, because reasons, just leave it naked like it is or forsake it".
