About Pragma Twice

You've awoken deep within a research facility in a new, programmable robot body. You have holes in your memories. At least you no longer have that hole in your head...Pragma Twice is a dystopian sci-fi programming/puzzle game in which you must augment your character's "kernel" with additional functionality and abilities in order to get through increasingly complex levels.
  • Craft Your Kernel - Kernels are written in vanilla JavaScript via an in-game editor. Can't move? Register a keyboard event to a movement call! Puzzle seems tedious or repetitive? Automate the tedium in your kernel!
  • Everything Has An API - Everything from blocks, to switches, to doors has an API. Studying an object's API can give you clues on how to interact with and leverage it for problem solving. 
  • Make It Autonomous - every level can be beaten autonomously, that is, without any player input from the keyboard. You may even be able to craft a tool that records keyboard inputs in order to generate autonomous, level-solving kernels...
Important Note: While the game introduces each concept required for players to develop their kernels and interact with objects, the game does not teach programming from ground up. The player is expected to already have knowledge of programming and its primary problem-solving constructs: functions, variables, if statements, loops, data manipulation, etc.

This is a really well-polished game. So far, I’ve been trying to beat the levels with as little code as possible. I usually go in with a really dumb solution, and if it doesn’t work, I go back to the code and grudgingly level up my kernel. I guess I’m just tired from programming at work and instinctively trying to minimize the amount of code I have to write. I’ll probably have to actually buckle down and get into it once I hit the harder puzzles. Some programming experience is definitely a huge help, though. It’s been really fun!

This has been a fun puzzle game! The game is pretty Javascript heavy which has lead me to finally start learning JS. At first I was a bit confused on how to even start, but it's pretty intuitive after playing through a level or two. Looking forward to playing more! :)

A very fun and challenging programming puzzle game. What I like most is that it feels like you are only limited by your own creativity. As you learn more of the controls you have access to, you start seeing more and more possibilities. It’s surprisingly satisfying to upgrade your robot. Instead of being given level-ups, your robot becomes more capable as you understand what's possible and think of creative ways to use the knobs they’ve given you. I feel like I’m using the console in Chrome’s developer tools to cheat at an online puzzle, except that’s the whole point. I’ve gotten a lot of enjoyment figuring out how to beat each puzzle. Also the story is fun to figure out. It definitely assumes you know JavaScript but now with AI you could do just fine by writing pseudocode and asking AI to write the JavaScript.

Amazing game, its simplicity is a big part of what gives it its charm. The game has been out for only about a week, and even by playing like a complete donkey, I didn't notice any major bugs or things that really got me out of the experience. Music is nice, lore is amusing enough to keep me interested. I'd say only 1 or 2 puzzles were a bit frustrating, all the others were fun. The devs were also very responsive to any feedback/questions in their discord channel, which I appreciate.

it's rare to find a programming automation game that already expects you to know programming, but this is it. it's hard, it's great.

Fantastic Javascript game, D4 has thoroughly baked my brain and I couldn't recommend this game more if you're already familiar with Javascript. Picked it up for £6.36 in the sale and honestly what a steal, I can see myself sinking a lot of time into this game, not just because it's good but because I genuinely feel challeneged by the puzzles. Your milage may vary but if you like coding games and puzzles, this is well worth picking up!
