Current Events > Help remembering a game

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is probably a long shot but I could use help remembering a game I used to play, very briefly. It was about 10-15 years ago. If I recall correctly it was a game about colonising a new land (or planet), but the game had you controlling a single character. I don't recall if it was first, or third person.

The main thing I remember was that there were a few types of robots (or maybe regular vehicles) you could control, by default they work by essentially remote control, with you controlling the robots the same way you control your character. However you could also programme the robots to run themselves, and when I say programme I mean literally type in computer code. It wasn't some boxes ticking thing, you were typing in actual computer code.

Thanks for the link, I'll post there when I get home.

No problem, they generally get it within the first couple guesses (though read the rules on what you need to include, since they'll want to know platform and OS and stuff like that).

Good luck, it sounds like a fun game

They solved it. It was Colobot.

Does it teach you how to program or does it assume you know how to do it already?

I think it was mostly used as a teaching aid, so your teacher taught you. The game did have some lessons though.
