I finally open sourced my game!!! I was mainly working on getting it a better title (it still may change in the future) and figuring out licensing.
This game comes from me playing with the minecraft mod computercraft and my friend pondering the idea “what if you played the game from a bedrock box by only controlling a turtle” and everything just kinda spiraled out of control from there. The game is in a very bare bones state, just with a basic interpreter for Hive–, the truly god awful programming language you use to command your workers. The automation aspect of the game is very much meant to encapsulate both the diegetic resource gathering and processing you do as well as the tools you create to make writing the code easier. It’s very much not a game for most people and isn’t trying to be commercial or have a large audience. This is solely a game for people who are as autistic about programming (and slightly insane) as I am.
You can keep track of development using the git.gay
This is a documentation issue, AKA “I need to explain how shit works better” which is an ongoing process. Dbglua is for connecting to the debug socket for inspecting the game state directly, the code for this is in the debug.rs file. Clientlua is an example lua client that connects to the actual gameplay socket. My apologies, proper documentation is on the todo list. Glad you took interest in it tho!!!
