Games Like Instructions for Gary

Write code to help Gary grow a garden. Start with one patch of moss and turn your first few commands into an automated farm, with unusual plants and more robots to look after them. Start with one command. Use a simple Python-style language to tell Gary what to do, then watch him carry it out. New to programming? Learn one idea at a time, with autocomplete and an in-game reference whenever you need a hand.

Different plants need different programs. Grow mushrooms into colonies, catch glowflowers at peak charge, or sort blooms into the right harvest order. Experiment with planting patterns and routes to get more out of every bed.

Put your harvests to work. Unlock new plants, more growing beds, better yields, and new programming tools. Choose where to place your beds and rewrite your routines as the garden grows.

Your first working loop is just the start. Discover plants with their own rules, unlock more powerful programming tools, and give your robots different jobs. Build routines that work together, then improve them as your garden grows and the problems get more interesting.

Want a harder problem? Optional Challenges test your code on farms with their own rules. Solve them to earn permanent rewards for your main garden. Programming commands will use the same names in every language. Inspired by The Farmer Was Replaced.
