untrusted

I'm working on a programming game called "Pragma Twice". As in, playing the game involves programming. I just put up a steam page for it (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3528840/Pragma_Twice/) and have a demo submitted to Valve for review (which should hopefully be approved any day now, since I'm trying to participate in June's NextFest) This game was originally inspired by the game "Untrusted" (https://github.com/AlexNisnevich/untrusted)

Also, while not related to Wordbots, Alex has a cool JS sandbox-escape-y game https://alexnisnevich.github.io/untrusted/ (https://github.com/AlexNisnevich/untrusted#license CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0) that I thought was fun and you might, too

I'm currently working on a game[0] similar to Untrusted[1] and I had to use bind (among other techniques like variable shadowing) in order to "sandbox" player provided code from interfering with other game objects or accessing the global scope (obviously there's no perfect sandbox, but it at least it makes it more difficult for players to do naughty things). Bind is useful because you can control the meaning of "this" when evaluating user-provided code, and I use it to deny player access to the parent scope by calling bind(undefined).

Hey guys, one of the developers here. Thank you all so much for all of your feedback! I never thought this game would become so popular. It seems that our server is more or less overloaded right now, so AJAX requests for new levels are sometimes failing. This appears to be the cause of the bugs that some of you have experienced where levels load incorrectly or are overwritten by previous levels. Sorry about that. :-/ We will work on making the game more robust in the case of failures like this. If you want to run the game locally, you can clone it from https://github.com/AlexNisnevich/untrusted and follow the instructions there.

It's from a combination of electronic sub-genres by some independent artists. You can see the full list of tracks here: https://github.com/AlexNisnevich/untrusted#soundtrack
