| 06:34 | < McMartin> | Man, the Zachtronics OSTs are so good |
| 06:35 | <@celticminstrel> | Maybe I should try to actually finish SpaceChem someday. |
| 06:35 | < McMartin> | SpaceChem... goes places. |
| 06:35 | < McMartin> | It's also very, hrm, nonrepresentative. |
| 06:36 | < McMartin> | The Defense missions in particular were a design element that he firmly yeeted out the window and never revisited. |
| 06:36 | < McMartin> | Of the later games that "look like programming", EXAPUNKS is the one I like the most, and of the ones that don't (but still basically are), Opus Magnum gets my highest rating. |
| 06:37 | <@celticminstrel> | Speaking of games that “look like programming”, what happened to that Flash(?) game? Factorio or something? |
| 06:37 | < McMartin> | https://zachtronics.bandcamp.com/track/network-exploration |
| 06:38 | < McMartin> | Factorio isn't a flash game and it's not really a programming game |
| 06:38 | < McMartin> | It's a constructors-and-conveyors game with tower defense elements |
| 06:38 | <@celticminstrel> | I may be misremembering the name, tho “conveyors” does sound like it fits what I remember. |
| 06:38 | < McMartin> | It never grabbed me for some reason, but the similar first-person game Satisfactory grabbed me *very hard indeed*. |
| 06:39 | <@celticminstrel> | Whether it was Factorio or something else, ISTR it being a literal Turing machine? |
| 06:39 | < McMartin> | I do remember a flash game where you were pretending to use conveyors to move things around but which were actually ... yes that |
| 06:39 | < McMartin> | That was a flash game and I assume it died with Kongregate or whoever. |
| 06:39 | < McMartin> | I don't remember its name offhand. Someone might. |
| 06:39 | <@celticminstrel> | So it wasn’t Factorio after all. |
| 06:39 | < McMartin> | I don't think so |
| 06:40 | < McMartin> | Or if it was, it has been completely eclipsed by the game named Factorio. |
| 06:40 | < McMartin> | I do remember the game you describe though, where the gimmick was that you were testing robots but what you were really doing was building a Turing machine. |
| 06:41 | | * McMartin does some wild google searches |
| 06:41 | < McMartin> | Manufactoria! |
| 06:41 | <@celticminstrel> | Ooh. |
| 06:41 | < McMartin> | I'm not 100% sure this is the thing |
| 06:41 | < McMartin> | But I'm about 95% sure. |
| 06:42 | <@celticminstrel> | Since we’re on about really old games, do you remember the one that was kinda like a 1D roguelike? |
| 06:42 | | Kindamoody[zZz] is now known as Kindamoody |
| 06:42 | < McMartin> | Not at all. |
| 06:42 | <@celticminstrel> | Probably didn’t find it from here anyway. |
| 06:43 | <@celticminstrel> | Kinda wanna find it again tho. Maybe it’s still open in some long-forgotten tab on the old computer, tho that only helps if it still exists. |
| 06:45 | <@celticminstrel> | It wasn’t Flash tho. |
| 06:47 | < McMartin> | You are almost certainly not thinking of Half-Minute Hero but it's what's coming to mind for me given the very silly way it handled combat. |
| 06:47 | <@celticminstrel> | Yeah, this one was pure ASCII. |
| 06:54 | < McMartin> | Yeah, I don't think I ever saw the game you're thinking of. |
| 06:55 | <@celticminstrel> | Found a video of Half-Minute Hero’s combat, and it does look to follow the same general principle, only with nice graphics. |

| 08:05 | < Alek> | there were plenty of factory flash games. |
| 08:05 | < Alek> | PLENTY |
| 08:05 | <&McMartin> | Ho yez |
| 08:05 | <&McMartin> | But Manufactoria is almost certainly the one CM was talking about, as it was a brief craze in this very channel back in the day. |
| 08:06 | < Alek> | plausible enough for me. :P |

| 20:02 | < abudhabi_> | kdenlive it's called and I've not hand to consult a video tutorial or google for instructions in order to put together a video of a movie file, a still image and a sound file. The hardest part was figuring out where the export button/command is, but I managed that, too. |
