   For folks that have never seen elevator scheduling the game: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.elevatorsaga.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.elevatorsaga.com&#x2F; Enjoy this rabbit hole :D

      I wish there were more games like this. It’s such a simple premise but so satisfyingly difficult after each level. And it even has a bit of randomish failure which makes for even more challenge.

         at a quick glance, it reminds me of &quot;the farmer was replaced&quot;, if you havent seen&#x2F;heard of that one

            I remember this one, it deserves all sorts of praise

               I can also recommend <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;375820&#x2F;Human_Resource_Machine&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;375820&#x2F;Human_Resource_Mac...

                  and its sequel is also worth a mention <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;792100&#x2F;7_Billion_Humans&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;792100&#x2F;7_Billion_Humans&#x2F;

                  but imo, unlike farmer, these games reaaaaly lack the ability to make functions&#x2F;subroutines

                  manually doing all the goto loops becomes tiring

         If you buy the adorable monochrome console called the &quot;Playdate&quot; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.date" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.date it comes with a bunch of games included, including a cute elevator game where you help penguins to different floors while controlling the elevators yourself using the crank: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.date&#x2F;games&#x2F;flipper-lifter&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.date&#x2F;games&#x2F;flipper-lifter&#x2F;

            That&#x27;s the guy who created Infiniminer, which was essentially 3D multiplayer Motherlode (a game everyone was playing at school lunch and I never figured out why) and inspired Minecraft.

         I had the idea to build something like it but for traffic lights. Never got around to actually do it. I have a feeling it probably exists.

         1. zengineer · 1785566604 · focus · HN ↗

            same :) Although, I wonder if building it is more fun than actually playing it then
