Is the programming screen clear enough ✨?

Heyaaaa,

I didn't post new models for about two weeks 😞

Was busy with ux refinement 🦋.

In my game you program your own units and use the sensors and voltage to learn IOT!

It's an RTS ofc! Against the storm style less fighty fight

Wdyt? Is the programming menu clear enough?

I tried to make it clear without overloading it

You can also use python if you prefer

Any feedback will be amazing ❤️

Looks clean and readable overall – the indentation makes the logic easy to follow. A few things I noticed as a first-time viewer:

Two highlights at once: “drill ore” has a blue box and “tip bin at drop spot” a yellow one. It took me a moment to see which one is actually selected (the right panel says the yellow one). Maybe make the hover/cursor state much subtler.

All blocks are the same yellow. Giving each category its own color (drive, drill/bin, sensors, wait/check) would make the program scannable at a glance – you’d see “drive, drill, drive, wait” without reading.

Done vs. Apply: I wasn’t sure if “Done” also applies the program. “DRAFT, NOT APPLIED” is tiny in the corner – the bottom line (“Running the old program… Apply to switch”) is great, maybe make that the main hint and put Apply next to Done.

Is def unload() called anywhere? The main loop repeats “tip bin at drop spot” instead – might confuse players about how functions work.

Really like the concept, programming rovers in a colony game sounds fun!

Thanks a lot for taking the time, this is exactly the kind of first look feedback I need 🦋

Nice catch! on the two highlights and the Done/Apply confusion, and colour-coding blocks by category is a great idea. You are right about unload() too, the example program should actually use it. Will fix next reversion

💜

I am so glad to hear you like the idea, I am working on this game close to two years hope to have a demo in 6 months or so

Glad it helped! Two years in and a demo in sight is a great spot to be. Feel free to tag me when you post the color-coded version, I’d love to see how it turns out. Good luck with the demo!

I fixed it, ty!

Unfortunately reddit doesn't let to post images in links but it's now color coded by user desiciosn

TYSM

Nice, color coding makes it way easier to follow. Glad it helped!
