Our submission to Langjam Gamejam. Written using PSL (Pretty Simple Language), which in turn was written using Python.

PSL documentation & source code for both the language and game can be found here: https://github.com/kouridakis/PSL-CODEBUSTER

HOW TO PLAY

You're equipped with the following commands:

• ANALYSE, to understand how to deal with each letter of a bug
• QUERY, for specific letters that require an extra step to deal with
• SEND, to send your clear code to a specific lane and clear a bug

You use must use the provided commands to analyze, understand, and clear bugs before they damage your terminal's stability by reaching the left end of the lanes.

BUG NOTICES

Because we had to rush a bit to finish the game on time, some known bugs made it to the submitted version of the game:

• In code maps, columns and rows are flipped (columns are rows and rows are columns)
• In the instance-count letter group (FGHIJ), +1 is added to the total count (so if a bug has 3 letters from this group, the correct value would be the one belonging to 4)

In the case above for example, F's values are 65367 (1's column), G's are 62813 (2's column) and so on. In addition, since this is the instance-count group, if a bug has both the letter F and G, the correct values would be 3 and 8 respectively, keeping in mind the columns <-> rows bug also mentioned.

FUTURE UPDATES

Due to the time constraint, we did not get to implement everything we had in mind. Things we might add in the future:

• Sound effects (+background music?)
• Increasing glitching effects as the stability decreases
