For Global Game Jam 2020, I wanted to make a game about programming robots. There was a bit of contention about the best way to go about this, but ultimately we decided on giving the player simple programming blocks to drag and drop into place to form a series of commands. I did all the gameplay programming involving executing commands, while my friend Daimee did all the UI programming with the blocks, and at the end we plugged them together, and it somehow worked perfectly on the first try. I also designed the first four introductory levels. At my game jam site, the judges deemed it “Best In Show” of the games presented, affirming my feeling that it was my cleverest game yet.
