Basic Replicator
Boot up your replicator console, and get to coding!
In this game you are tasked with writing BASIC code to generate voxel objects. Each challenge presents you with a new object to replicate.
Attempt to optimize your solution to minimize program size, or executed instruction count.

The shader used in the game is a bit intense, if you experience performance problems with the web version, please give the download version a try instead!

i really enjoy this game, it helps me think in 3d with code. but there's little things that stress me. basic is such an esoteric language now that it's really hard to actually find documentation. for example, how do you use ASSERT? i cant even find evidence that it was ever a piece of the BASIC language, let alone syntax on it's use.
Really cool… just added to my collection! Would you like to join Creactivity #1?
This is such a fun little concept, and it's really polished! The whole interface is really tactile and satisfyingly "juicy," the keyboard clacks were a really nice touch.
I especially would have loved this as a kid, when I was learning how to code. Would be great for anyone who's willing to learn a bit of basic coding, but with some online low-score charts (smallest program size and least instructions) it could be really fun for expert coders too :)
I think there's a bug on the Camera level? My output looks exactly like the target (yes, including the back plate, which by the way really needs to be better-lit) but it only shows an 80% color match.
Does it seriously want me to color the internal voxels in a specific pattern too? And if so, how exactly am I supposed to tell what that pattern is, since there's no way to see inside the target.
Good point! It does want you to match the internal voxels, but there isn’t a way to see them right now. I had intended to include cut-away views.... sorry about that!
