Hero Programmer Quest
I made a game for the Experimental Gameplay Project’s March theme: 10 seconds. It’s a silly little Flash game that started out as a joke when we trying to come up with game ideas about 10 seconds with Dylan Fitterer. We actually came up with this pretty decent game idea, but it was just a little too ambitious to do. Also we had some political differences inside team about Sarah Palin

Instructions
You’re a programmer at NVIDIA. You’ve just released a graphics card driver that is killing computers all over the world. In order to save the world from a death by exploding computers you have to fix bugs in your code as fast as you can. It’s the game that puts the dead in deadline.
Gameplay is pretty simple. Just click on the line of code where there’s a bug.

Special Thanks to: Dylan Fitterer for the idea and Martin Jonasson for the sweet Flash tutorials.

I had to take a screenshot to pass the “Averager” one. But anyway, it was fun enough to clear the game!

How about improving the ending next time? I know it’s a kind of joke, but a witty ending must be more rewarding.

Fun stuff! Too bad I don’t know C++… Same stuff for other languages?

Fun game!
(I took a screenshot too)

I don’t even know C++ and I managed to finish that. I feel accomplished.

Kloonigamesilta 10 sekunnin hupia…
Muun muassa Crayon Physicsistä tuttu Kloonigamesin Petri Purho on julkaissut jälleen uuden pelin. Tällä kertaa kyseessä on selaimessa pyörivä Hero Programmer Quest, jonka päämäärä on niinkin yksinkertainen kuin bugien etsiminen ohjelmakoodi…

[...] Our fellow Nordic indie developer and friend, Petri Purho (of Crayon Physics fame), just released a hilarious new game prototype in which you have to debug C++ code really quickly. Yes, you read that correctly! Try it here. [...]

It would have been really cool if new errors were generated each times, or at least the order was randomized. That would make it much more challenging.

LOL this is so cool!

Funny! I like sort of games which are only playable by programmers

How the hell do you expect anyone to be able to read, let alone spot the error in those sniplet in 10 seconds is beyond me. All or them were pretty easy and even retarded considering they should be syntax highlighted as error, but the time constraint being this harsh will make people play a guessing game instead of a thinking game here.

Thanks, it’s a very good idea to implement. Evaluation of liability of a person in this way will be accurate. Every firm should adopt this way of equality.
