A Programming Puzzle Game Where YOU Write a TAS Bot! - Bots Are Stupid 

Finally putting those compsci classes to good use lol

"I'm just gonna accept that this code was bad" - Literally every programmer ever

Of course, you're a CS major. You exude the vibes of a CS major.

As a fellow CS major dropout, this game looks like soooo much fun.

Programming at it's heart is one puzzle after another, and I'm happy someone turned it into a full game.

Tyler ignoring that the "down" command wasnt even being detected made me so mad lol

Turing Complete is another programming puzzle game that I've been having a great time with.

I now want to see a TAS of this game and watch it go crazy fast, cause the longest part of playing this game (assuming you have the optimal solution memorized going in) is typing out the code (assuming CTRL V from outside sources is illegal in the run)

This game definitely looks interesting. I'm hoping it expands out as it goes, becoming more like a Zachtronics game.

“Can I copy paste in this game” 90% of what programmers do lol

I love the levels where the tutorial character just flies into the void or some spikes "See you later!" *swings directly into spikes*

4:18 Tyler didn’t move his facecam making him tonight’s biggest booster

As a game dev and a long time programmer, this game is a good way to get into learning basic programming syantax. It teaches you to use learned commands in a ideal manner.

Ben, thank you for zooming in on the text! I was worried I was going to have to watch this video squinting!

Aliensrck should play dicey dungeons, since he likes the deck-builder strategy genre.

He's on the track to discovering zachtronics!!! Soon, he shall make an... opus magnum

Bruh he keeps revealing more about his bigger brain every day

I remember being in AP computer class in high school and we had a "game"/programming language called Niki, a very simple language related to Pascal where you steered a robot on a grid. Been enamored with those types of puzzle games ever since, great examples are *Shenzen IO* (if you like solving more practical problems like programming noise filters or billboard light displays), *Human Resource Machine* (if you liked the art style of World of Goo and a more anthropomorphized view of how/why a computer does what it does) or *TIS-100* (if you like multiprocess/multithreaded programming). Honorable mention to *Baba is You* for not _exactly_ being programming per se, but _very_ close to it in principle with you being able to basically alter the properties of (almost) any object in the game.

Games like these are perfect for teaching kids to become the programmers and game makers of the future. Ah I remember the good old days of playing around with "Turtle" and then my adventures into Pascal.

as a current programming major, this really looks fun

Dude I found your channel this past week and it’s now the channel I watch the most, I love every game you play, your content is awesome!!! Keep it up👍🏼

"Some programming languages can be a bit more confusing" *Flash back to trying to print hello world with assembly*

Gret video man :D

I spent the past 3 years doing a Maths degree, with the part that always held me back being the fact I can't do programming. The lecturers used to take me saying I can't do it as me saying I didn't want to do it. Really ruined my time there. For those who cam do programming, I think you're quite talented, but it's a skill I don't have. I've now moved to the OU to finish my degree as and Open Degree, supplementing in other stuff to vover credits I couldn't get, whilst still being able to do Maths stuff.

I once tried to learn how to code. I didn't get far though, because the literal tutorial bugged 🙃 Got a laugh outta me though

Looks like a great game with more developed baba is you mechanics. Fits in great with the other videos and would love to see more of it.

RU-vid keeps putting these video's in my recommended and tbh i like the face cam in the corner so i subscribed

It's fun to see that "a lot" of people on internet are CS dropouts or people who finished CS but doesn't practice. It seems that programming is way harder and demanding than people think.

Man I didn't care to subscribe but I realised that I've been consistently watching your videos from my recommended so I might as well lol

Have you considered playing Zachtronics games? They're all puzzle games inspired by programming. Opus Magnum is truly fantastic, and not too long (but has a level workshop!)

"I'm just gonna accept that this code is bad." I say that to myself every time I'm at work and we're almost at a deadline

Hey Aliensrock, if you ever want to play a game with infinite video potential I recommend Opus Magnum! Theres a story mode, user generated levels and three metrics of optimization. But mostly I found it really tough so I’d enjoy watching someone else have to use their thinky-piece, and you have many thinkies in your piece.

It's so nice that you tried this game :D as someone who has multiple time records i can confirm it's very tedious but damn its satisfying to see your bot go faster than every other bot

TASes are generally made by inserting owninputs and playing them back, just typing the lines self just seems tedious.

You are still on the title screen and I'm already laughing at the name of the game!

I'm now studying programming and I think this will help me with my problem solving skills a little bit more than anything else cause this made me interested unlike those boring classes

If you right click a line of code whenever you play it'll instantly jump to that point btw! REALLY helpful for the longer levels

Finally, a video that can help me choose a major

"can I copy paste in this game?" The software engineer is peaking though ;P

Reminds me of TIS-100 but certainly more accessible and intuitive

Good lord tyler's timing is impeccable

"I've been a programmer in university, this is up my alley" the code: move right wait 1 move left jump

The developer: I used the programming to program a program

Okay this game looks super fun. Please keep doing these (i see now that you’ve already posted another video XD)

You shoud play Outer Wilds if you haven't already, it's one of the best exploration based puzzle games ever made and it just got an incredible dlc. Every one of your viewers who played it will enjoy the videos immensely.

cannot WAIT to see this game fully release, I can just imagine the crazy things you can start to pull off

Aliensrock: can I copy and paste? Me: so you do know how to code

Have you played while true: learn? It’s a puzzle game with a similar basis, but you’re building a program to translate what your cat is saying. I wasn’t very good at it, but I’d be really interested in seeing you have a crack at it

i love seeing all of the records -including mine- on the leaderboard being set in real time after this video came out

I can’t wait for the TAS of Bots are Dumb

If you enjoy this, Shenzhen IO might be something for you. Or gladiabots. Or opus magnum. Or spacechem!

Souns fun and it's like making "Don"t move" level from Happy Wheles all over again ;P

You gotta watch the replays for best time. It's insane

I have a feeling Tyler is going to become the number 1in least code lines eventually

Litrally the first thing, my coder braun thought was: "Is there a code, that solves all of the levels?"

“I’m just gonna accept that this code works and move on” Damn, I feel that.

I’m going to say this because I’m sure some people will assume the wrong things. TASBot is an entity, a TAS by itself is what you are thinking of, which means Tool-Assisted Speedrun. TASBot is a unique replay device.

You should play 7 billion humans/human resource machine if they aren't already on your radar! Not expecting a video but just in general.

This makes me wonder what you'd think of a game called Hack n' Slash, which contrary to what the name implies actually involves programming as well.

Hey!! Looks like a fun game! Kind of reminds me of another called Quadrilateral Cowboy. Basically using code to break into places and steal things! It's really fun, and I think you might enjoy puzzling out how to do things, and also how best to optimize stuff.

You should try gladiabots. You set up the code for your robots and have to defeat another team. Didn't use it in a few years but at the time there were already a lot of levels to play.

We are in a golden age of puzzle games and we should appreciate that

Have you ever heard of Opus Magnum or SpaceChem? They also have some kind of programming gameplay. Maybe you'll like them. (completed base game(opus magnum), loved it, but as always, player made levels are much more harder)

Ok this game is amazing, buying it now.

I would love a continuation

This was uploaded a few days after I started learning how to use the Linux Terminal (Short Summary got a Laptop and had issues on Windows)

TAS + programming = awesome

1:40 Can we just take a second to realize Tyler didn't even tie for first place on lines despite the high score being equal to his score?

This is really awesome. Reminds me of human resource machine

Such a neat idea for a game, I wanna see the shortest code but obviously they can't show us haha.

Alright this was fun. Seems like a game you could get really creative with.

this game looks super fun

You should definitely play the rest of the demo

4:05 don't think you had to wait for that level. Seemed like the jump is exactly a gap plus a platform wide.

Idk if it’s been recommended but 7 billion humans is very similar to this except it’s block based programming instead of typing very fun game imo

Tyler have you ever played Shenzhen io? It’s a super hard programming puzzle game, probably wouldn’t be too good for RU-vid but you may enjoy it.

looking fresh dude

I would like to see a lot more of this one please and thank you

If you wanna try more programming based puzzle games I would recommend Human resource machine and its sequel 7 billion humans (especially the latter). Interesting games, but I personally suck ass at optimisation, so I can't really enjoy the full experience. Would love to see you optimising those levels tho

If you like coding games Autonaughts is a city building/automation style game that I enjoyed.

"I'm just going to accept this code is bad" As someone who writes programs in their spare time, I felt that

well... programming is some sort of a puzzle game, so it comes up together

I decided to play this game, but it seemed a little bit easy. So i set a challenge to myself: NO JUMP! Jumping is not allowed.

can't wait to see a tas of this game

For the last level you did, I got roughly double amount of time, and half the amount of lines as you. 12.7s and 13 lines. I took a really boring route as I was trying to cut down on lines, so I missed the first boost, didn't jump on the conveyor (biggest time loss I think), and fell to the ground and jumped straight up with the booster to finish.

4:44 nice bot name o-o

Programing games are really cool, this one doesn't seem to be the exception, if you like this kind of game you should check 7 billion humans, that one is really good too!

Can't wait for the "twich plays bots are dumb"

lol Nice username for this game, Mr. Bike

So a very different programming game than say a TIS-1000 or Quadrilateral Cowboy

i actually struggled to time the fall on the hook down level. because i was using stop

Hey, can I please ask anybody here for help? This is kind off irrelevant to this video but I don’t know where else to try. There was this old IOS mobile game which I can’t remember the name of. I used to play this game a lot as a kid but sadly got my phone restarted one time and lost the game. The game was about a astronaut girl in a yellow jumpsuit with pink pigtails I believe, where she crash landed on an alien planet which was inhabited by small, dark furred aliens. While trying to repair the ship, the character is placed on a cubic area where by going to the edge of this area it would turn around and u would be placed in a different location, while also completing story based quests. Although, I don’t remember much about it, I am absolutely certain that this game existed. And I have searched almost everywhere and every website there is. But it is difficult when u don’t know the name. So, if anyone has any clue what I am talking about plz tell me. Thank u…

you should play Quern its a really good adventure puzzle game, like the room or that senses one

Oh snap I might have to get this one.

Real “Human resource machine” vibes

Day three of daily Tyler watching. Can't wait to see more of this game!

Speedrunning this would be either funny or pointless. Mostly fine-tuning the wait intervals to the last decimal place.

The coolest thing is that this could be recreated with a turtle function

I feel like this game would of been weird to develop, since the players are basically making the game as they play. Looks cool though

"you can't stop mid-air because there's no friction"... But you can turn on a dime???
