So as someone that doesn’t know how to code, I would have loved a little bit more guidance to help learn the basics of the language. I wanted to continue playing but couldn’t get passed the damn gravity question and felt like a stupid. Can’t there be a ‘I give up l’ button? Would have sold my soul for some hints 🥲

Aaaah no :( It sucks that you got stuck at that point. I was really hoping it would be something non-programmers could easily understand and play. I think once you get the gravity thing, the “language” as a whole makes more sense.
If you’re keen to give it another bash, the code follows the following structure:
object property = value
object is the thing in the game you want to change, like circle, rectangle, world
property is just that, the property of the object you want to change, like colour, gravity, speed
value is the value you want to assign to it, this could be a number or a word
Later you are introduced to a second structure, but l’ll leave that up to you to discover if you decide to play again :)
