This is a neat idea. I couldn't get that far though (I think I got to level 3 or 4), because I couldn't figure out the nested repeat. It would be interesting to have some feedback (audio/error msg) in case something was wrong in the syntax.

That being said, I can only imagine how crazy it is to make all this programming syntax work within the game environment, so kudos for that. 

Another cool thing about this is that I felt smart whenever I made a working solution. These kinds of game have potential (programming puzzles), but at the same time I feel they're tough to get it right. But good job!

Thanks! In the updated version I added a debugger, (for now you can find it at https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/991386, but I'll update here when the jam ends). It helps because without it it's difficult to understand what you did wrong, even though I don't know if it would make it easier to understand how to nest loops .

(if I write it indented, even though it's not necessary, it would be something like

repeat 2 

    repeat 2 move right end 

    repeat 2 move right end

end ). 

I wasted a lot of time trying to make an interpreter for the commands, but it wasn't very easy, so it's actually transpiled to lua, you can see the similarities if you know the language :)
