Move Code Lines is a game where you fix programs and make them print needed output. But the only way you can achieve that is to change the order of lines in those programs, and set custom input.
In this puzzle game, players must fix broken programs by rearranging the order of the code lines to produce the desired output. The core gameplay loop involves analyzing short, faulty code snippets, identifying the issues, and then reorganizing the lines to make the programs function correctly.
The game features an interactive coding environment that allows players to directly rearrange and edit the lines of code. Reviewers appreciate the authentic feel of this interface, which resembles a miniature code editor or IDE. Players can also control the execution speed or pause the program, enabling them to carefully step through the code and observe how it behaves.
In addition to the puzzle-solving gameplay, many players praise the game's educational value in helping them learn and reinforce programming concepts. The game covers a range of constructs, such as arrays, conditions, loops, and functions, which are presented in a practical, problem-solving context.
The game's difficulty is a topic of discussion among reviewers, with many noting that it strikes a good balance between challenge and approachability. Both beginners and experienced programmers seem to find the puzzles enjoyable, with the former group praising the game's accessibility, and the latter group appreciating the more complex, thought-provoking levels.
