Professor Lazybones is a game about making games

• map is made of 48px tiles
• aim is to god 4 lab assistants to collect loot
• limited set of commands cards
  • move (0 = until blocked, 1-8 = steps)
    • moving against a pushable takes double the steps
  • face (n, s, e, w, l, r, u)
  • wait (0 = forever, 1-8 = steps)
  • work (0 = forever, 1-8 = steps)
  • take (n, s, e, w, l, r, u, x)
  • give (n, s, e, w, l, r, u, x, i)
  • swap (1-9 = inventory items)
  • loop (0 = forever, 1-8 = steps)
  • bomb (0 = now, 1-8 = steps)
  • stop (breakpoint)
• items in the level
  • loot (aim is to add these to inventory, quote for each level)
  • food
  • pick
  • axe
  • shield
  • switch
  • door
  • key
• lab assistants have HP and perhaps different skillz
• select a dwarf, and command it
• play / step through the level
• dwarf dialog for errors etc
• all other entities have programs too which you can inspect!
• bit of story too

TODO

• interface for the level, including selection and stuff (boring)

• implement the little programs to make stuff happen (fun)

• VM that runs the programs with registers that we can read off for controlling entities
