Show HN: Bot Land, a game where you fight others via code

You can code in a subset of JavaScript too. Even with that in the game, I find Blockly a little bit more usable given the current feature-set in Bot Land right now (mostly the existence of snippets and premade scripts in Blockly). It's nice to get large chunks of code that you can just drag around.

Alternatively, maybe you were referring to some other part of the game when you said you wouldn't want to play this, in which case I'd love to hear your feedback!

I think they were just saying that since they code for a living, they don't want to play games that are also code.

Oh yeah, you may be right. I took it to mean "given that I know code, I wouldn't want to use a drag-and-drop interface". I've had a few pieces of feedback like that before, and sometimes even pointing out the existing coding interface doesn't please those people. To each their own, for sure!
