It gives you numbers and you add, subtract and 'jump if zero' those numbers to produce other numbers. It teaches core programming concepts in a cartoonified setting, which is great, but the generic megacorp in which you while away your life doesn’t add much context. I can sense maths teachers across the country lining it up as an end-of-term treat.Īnd there’s the issue: Human Resource Machine never presents itself as anything but pedagogical.

Indirect access and key-value data pairs follow suit, both vital components of the coder’s utility belt and useful to learn, but perhaps to the point where a little grounding in the theory beforehand would serve novices well. In a particularly nasty example of the latter, each inbox item had to be extracted until a zero was encountered and then sorted into ascending order. Should you make it past basic multiplication-including multiplying two consecutive numbers from the inbox together a feat I was sure was impossible using an add command (it’s not)-developers Tomorrow Corporation continue their programming lesson with Fibonacci sequences and zero-terminated strings. I added each number to itself, and then the sum of that to itself the appropriate number of times: two becomes four becomes eight all the way up to 32 before sticking on a few more twos to make 40. A little factoring, however, and you’re set. I started to realise when a level asked me to multiply each inbox number by a set value such as 40 without a multiply function. The challenge ramps up but the toolbox stays the same, and it's the limitations of that tool box that make Human Resource Machine so challenging. It’s a disarmingly simple toolbox, and for the first few years (levels) on the job longed for more functions to play with. In this case you use rudimentary commands like ‘inbox’, ‘copyto’, ‘add’, ‘bump’ or ‘jump’ to command your minion to take numbers or letters from the inbox on the left, process them according to the demands of your job, and dump the result in the outbox on the right. Human Resource Machine joins Else Heart.Break() and The Magic Circle in letting you play God with the game’s behaviours. Games about coding are becoming rather trendy these days.
