This is exciting: I have my first working prototype of BusyBodies. And it’s now at the point where a non-computer geek can start to see what it is. So, check it out:
I realize it’s all just red, white, and blue boxes, but just imagine: you’re in a cake factory. There are strawberry cakes (the red boxes) coming down the conveyor belt. You need to get them into a box, but all you have are two dumb robots: a Button Pusher, who just pushes buttons all day, and a Shover, who shoves things when his button is pushed.
How do you get the cakes into their box?
Well, that’s a pretty easy example, but it’s only level one. In level two you have to sort cakes according to flavor, and in level three you have to start doing inventory management. But all of the levels will work vaguely like the video above. No code necessary, but you’re sure as heck programming.
dear erik–
first of all, belated congratulations on graduating/grad school/anticipating moving to the land where real mexican food lives in america and they don’t really have mosquitoes. huzzah!
second of all– your public is eagerly awaiting new dance videos, complete with sweatbands. just so you know. but, no pressure.
three–are you having adventures this summer? of the outdoor variety?
not that your cake factory isn’t supa sweet. fo’ real.
Still waiting on the socks. American Apparel customer service sucks, by the way.
and their CEO likes to masturbate in front of female employees. yeah. he’s a winner. and so is the company.
hope you get yer sock soon!
