Programmer's Odyssey

Programmer's Odyssey

Have you ever dreamed of being the only computer scientist employed in a large company and having to deal with incompetent colleagues, bugs and hacks coming from competing companies?

No ? Well this game is still made for you!

Catch a friend of yours and face each other, each his own business to manage!
Repair the computers, don't lose control, avoid bankruptcy and hack your neighbor!

Gameplay and Objectives :

- Do not sink your company
- Hacked PCs (in red) make you lose money
- If no PC is hacked (in blue), the company earns money
- The winner is the one who has the most money at the end of the count or the one who survived

- Interacting with a PC allows you to switch to Terminal mode
- Each PC has its commands noted on the notepad
- Each command allows a specific action to repair or hack

- We can hack the PC of the opposing company
- Hacking an opponent's PC gives him the status 'Hacked' and 'Corrupted'
- Corruption (in yellow) reverses the actions corresponding to two of the pc commands
- To repair or hack a PC, you must perform a series of actions in the order indicated on the post-it notes
- To correct the corruption, check the correspondence of commands and actions in the Test tab

- Attention, your incompetent colleagues can periodically give the statuses 'Hacked' and 'Corrupted' to a nearby PC
- Use the 'shout' button to make them flee
