    Hey! Yo! This is a great game! Scratches that puzzle itch while I continue to practice python! Now to try and get sleep cycles back on track. lol To the dev: this is great! I love your work on this. Hopped on this after "The Farmer Was Replaced" and loving this one too.

    Since graduated from CS and became jobless. This game make me re-think my life, maybe I don't really wasted those 4 years in my university for nothing.

    Quite frustrating for this longtime Python coder. The coordinate and movement system is cumbersome and lacks an in-game introduction. The API docs are too vague in this regard, specifically for MovingPlatform.get_current_location(). The 3D controls often interfere with the code editor window. If one makes the code editor window smaller to make more room for the 3D controls, the “Run” and Stop” buttons for code…
