`perform player move` crashes the game

I love this kind of game which teaches people programming and game developing. Nice work!

ran into an issue with 'perform player mine' and couldn't mine any rocks, so couldn't create a home to go home to.

@adroitconceptions did you use `create rock` prior to?
@kuviman thanks for the note.
@dry-squid there is indeed a mac build it was just a bit late to the party.

This was a great execution of a really cool idea, nice job! I loved how intuitive the console was, but some more QoL stuff like hitting the up arrow to paste your last command or being able to select/copy text from the log would've been amazing.

Very interesting concept. I wish there was music.

I'm not quite sure how I felt about this game; it was definitely an interesting and unique take on the genre! I think whether or not this game is fun is definitely subjective based on whether you liked the Matrix or not. I feel this could be expanded on for code geeks in one form or another.

I loved the text based aspect, made me think of fun times playing Zork. Inspiring me to make one, yeah. Great Job!

One of the more comedic games, a very fun play and concept

That's basically a game every programmer wants to create :D

My only dislike is that you cannot cycle through command history.

I couldn't get it to run :( I got an openAL.dll not found error.

Get https://www.openal.org/downloads/oalinst.zip if there are OpenAL errors. @erebus

It was fun figuring out what I needed to do and even more fun doing it! Definitely could've played this longer. Great little game :)

Very cool idea! I wish there was some music - I tried to create some but it didn't work :wink:

Interesting game! Rather short though. I would've liked some more mechanics, but the concept is very clever. Well done!
