Nerd³ Tests... Human Resource Machine

[@YerfdogGames]

I figured out Dans 3 new intros: 1) 'Now.....' 2) 'So......' 3) 'The name of the game...'

[@LykonDrakensken]

"3,2,1, procrastinate!"

[@p3nnycraft]

I'm pretty sure that Dan doesn't have any number of new intros, since the reason he stopped using "Hello, Procrastinators" was it was too constraining. Just changing what he says in the intro is not the same as having a non-scripted intro. Although I agree that in the sample size of 18 videos, he has used those ones multiple times.

[@YerfdogGames]

+Emily p3nnycraft yeah I know it's not intentional. I just noticed he used them a lot.

[@razzaclarke7278]

+aceman0000099 your just gonna spam reply a shit ton, arent you?

[@Hamatabo]

+aceman0000099 i think you predicted wrong, but that depends on what your definition of a few hours is

[@LethalPigeon7]

Seeing some youtuber finally do things right is so incredibly satisfying.

[@lynmar]

+Lethal Pigeon yeah i kno right, just to bad it isnt nerdcubed

[@samuelevans482]

+Brandon Jones Ayyyyyyyy banta

[@LolindirElros]

+Lethal Pigeon I'm guessing the difference between Dan and other youtubers you may have seen is that Dan has actually programmed something in his life :)

[@lynmar]

Lethal Pigeon that literally makes zero sense

[@sonic_owl4465]

No kidding. If anyone wants a full playthrough of the game by a pretty good youtuber I'd recommend steejo's series

[@arturaraujo73]

"Human Resource Machine", also known as "Employing System" for americans.

[@Tris70]

lel

[@zacharytobor7314]

:)

[@infernox1099]

out of all the KZbinrs I've seen play this, Dan is actually smart.

[@infernox1099]

+infernox1099 now that i think about it, Dan is a programmer, so it isn't that surprising.

[@JamesBalazs]

+infernox1099 No he isn't, he doesn't know a single programming language. He just tells people that know how to make games what to do.

[@orbitafc6449]

+TheRebel3000 that's just not true.

[@JamesBalazs]

+orbitaFC How is it? He uses Game Maker, which is a game engine that you develop in without any programming whatsoever, like Scratch or Alice. For his bigger project that he's been working on with a team for a while now, I'm pretty sure someone else is doing the programming and another person is doing the artwork.

[@infernox1099]

TheRebel3000 even if he has only programmed in game maker, it still is programming, just simplified, like this game is.

[@TheRandomBrickGuy]

Dan: "Oh, I'm pippi longstocking!!" Swedish procrastinators: o.o *dies*

[@DerangedScout]

Waiting for HighlightsCubed's inevitable return once again.

[@JoeWuhPuh]

+Deranged Scout *clap* *clap* *clap*

[@DerangedScout]

I knew I'd attract his biggest fan. C

[@ThyWaffl3]

+Joe Wilson-Palmer "Oh good, the slow clap processor is still working."

[@aceman0000099]

i like highlightscubed sure hes ripping off content but he doesn't get many views any way so it doesn't matter

[@mat_tea]

+Deranged Scout Cough Hypocrite Cough Cough

[@TheSuperScorpionKing]

OMG. You are so much better at this game than Jacksepticeye!

[@JayfeatherFan1000]

+TheSuperScorpionKing I wanted to strangle Jack for his idiocy concerning the Jump command.

[@aceman0000099]

jacksepticeye is 12 years old. in intelligence and maturity

[@JayfeatherFan1000]

aceman0000099 ...Yeah...

[@zyronn7991]

+aceman0000099 Sir I am 12 and I find that rude. Not all 12 year olds are idoits and immature.

[@Zoxide_]

+Joey fritz Being 12 too, I'll say that we're surrounded by people more mature than us. You do realise we have no experience in the world, and probably both think we know more than everyone else. Also, typing with grammar however making you look smart doesn't make you smart.

[@Chickenkeeper]

This seems very much like a more graphical version of TIS-100, I like it

[@stuartpot4930]

0:20 Its that Dan guy in the background! Too bad he was replaced by ashens.

[@orbitafc6449]

he wasn't though. did you watch the whole video? I get this is a joke but it's a really poor one.

[@aceman0000099]

WE WANT LARRY!

[@charliebewsey2575]

+orbitaFC Um... it made me chuckle...

[@charliebewsey2575]

+orbitaFC Next time say you think it's a poor joke instead of stating it.

[@Shelleloch]

+orbitaFC LIES. YOU SPEAK LIES.

[@Kingz4Kings]

I love it when he play games seriously instead of fucking around all the god damn time. Man what a relief

[@Bebsii]

man its good to see someone who makes games play a game about programming games cause he knows what hes doing (ik its GAMECEPTION)

[@bepis9995]

"That's my kinda thing... I suck at it, but it's my kinda thing... Like stand-up comedy! Or Luge!"~Nerdcubed 2015

[@streak1burntrubber]

A puzzle game that simultaneously teaches people how to code.... There needs to be more games like this.

[@jonathanmonreal9601]

The entire thing reminds me of working with an assembly language, what with the way the copy and add (with the "working register" of her hands) commands work. Of course, you probably wouldn't get your buss instantly finding your null pointer error. Pretty cool (and educational) game.

[@Tonks143]

I cri he got rid of the "It makes me want to" joke:(

[@hebl47]

I guess it was only a matter of time before Ashens decided he'd play a game that has boxes in it. So nice of Dan to give him this game to play.

[@IpolsYoutube]

The problem with programming games is that they are appelling either to non-programmers or to programmers, not both.. or at least the one I have experienced. I don't want to pubblicize other people but there is a great flash game about programming if you search a bit, it has 2 chapters

[@Scrmz_Internally]

My mind exploded seeing Dan struggle at year 8, trying to do it in 6 steps

[@kingcarrr7868]

I use dans videos as a way to escape my sadness because my mother recently passed away and i love dans vids it makes me happy :) keep it up

[@gamerguardian1735]

I swear, I saw Dan on the Teracontiplier stage and I was like "YOU NEEDED TO ADD 1 MORE FROM 1 YOU GIBBON."

[@mournival]

So, this is basically a miniature version of Assembly with a small amount of registers? It's nice to see more games coming out that teach what's generally a very difficult to get in to area of computer science.

[@jbal6956]

5:59 IIIIIIIT'S COFFEH TIME!

[@vooran]

+jbal boy Dodger+jbal=Maybe true

[@LenkyLad]

This game gets crazy complex when you get into the later levels. Also on an interesting note your character will noticeably age after each level or so since it is a year at a time.

[@jemvee3830]

World of goo is the game that taught me I could be filled with fear, wonder, and awe all at the same time.

[@ColtonWillnerd]

As an actual programmer, thank god he solved that last one otherwise it was going to bug the shit out of me.

[@Kaiimei]

An easy way to solve the last one is to take the 8x, save it to 0, then add the 8, and put the 16 on space 1, then add the 16, then add the 8, and you have 40. So if it was a 1, you'd go 1+1=2, 2+2=4, 4+4=8, 8+8=16, 16+16=32, 32+8=40. Then outbox the 40 and win.

[@LionelTabre]

Dan, you've successfully learned the basics of assembly / normal programming, in videogame form!

[@chookax]

Ooh I'm so early everyone is on about how early they are!

[@vooran]

+chookax I'm early, and you're wormy.

[@croissant7796]

+vooran lol l

[@Tris70]

+xXHitmanPlaythroughsXx lol i?

[@croissant7796]

oops

[@vooran]

+xXHitmanPlaythroughsXx Lol I!

[@picklerick3252]

that sip of "coffee" might be the only reason I'm still here thanks man

[@ignaciosuarezaboy]

"Here is your Bondage." Umm, what?

[@leon2550]

coming from someone who is trying to learn programming at the moment, this game is incredibly helpful for teaching the basic logic of programming to newcomers, and helps you learn programming languages. seriously, if you're just starting to learn programming, play this game!

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

+leon2550 If you are looking for a game that simulates complex programming command chains visually, try SpaceChem. It's on Steam. Much better and more interesting than this game, not to mention SpaceChem starts of easy but quickly becomes quite complex and complicated, but the good thing is there is no single correct solution to arrive at the goal, you can build your command chains as complicated or as sleek and efficient as you want.

[@bbruinenberg]

+TF2CrunchyFrog You pretty much described this game. The part dan has shown in this video is the very early part of the game. The part where you get introduced to the basic functions that you'll use in most puzzles. It will become many many times more difficult than what is shown in this video. There are also multiple solutions for every puzzle as long as you get the correct end result. And yes, this for many puzzles includes multiple solutions to achieve or even beat the bonus goals.

[@miron__]

+Rendom Stranger You get much more gametime out of spacechem, i completed this in a day with about 1/2 of the solutions optimized. I played 18hours of spacechem and still havent finished it

[@hjc135246]

*prays for no brute force coding*

[@calebbailey6557]

I get the reference but... Eh?

[@LiarraSniffles_X3]

You multiplied 0 by 40, and the answer was still zero. Seems like a worthwhile use of company production time.

[@theatomixgaming5520]

You get a command for that later in the game, it's called:jump if zero if I'm not mistaking.

[@smhill818]

Oh man, this IS my job... programming to get things from an endless inbox to an endless outbox...

[@Green0Photon]

Now Dan just needs to learn about monads. It's simple, all he needs to know is a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors.

[@Cimera42]

"If it goes wrong, it all goes wrong" - how I program as well :P

[@matthewmaynard5979]

Luge: noun 1. a light toboggan for one or two people, ridden in a sitting or supine position. verb 1. ride on a luge.

[@doobyscooby8668]

Challenge/Permadeath thing: You only have 1 (maybe 2) minute(s) to figure out and complete each level, if you fail a level that's where you stop

[@kronasoosanork]

I was so so so happy to see him instantly see how to multiply by 8 using only 3 add commands. So nice to see a youtuber who isn't awfull at this game

[@JamesEpicson]

Nerd, being a 'game developer' should love this.

[@6tyjh]

I want a completes in this for satisfying programming reasons. OPTIMIZATION. OPTIMIZAAAATION.

[@ragbolt1]

So Dan doesn't even greet us at all to his videos any more *Cries internally*

[@lunaticengineer8408]

HALLO PROCRASTINATORS!!!!!! Something for our hearts to go back to

When this video is over, it will be 2017. I'm on the east coast of the USA.

[@darrenwoods4373]

Just bought this game because of this video. I am a Software Developer and haven't seen many "programming" games that have actually been any good. This one is great!

[@ScottJohnHarrison]

Need a Nerd^3 Challenge - Complete Human Resource Machine 100%

[@Fubizz12345]

please do more of this game... love it

[@clerics6869]

dan since you failed to do ur intro i will do it: HELLO PROCRASTONATERS AND WELCOME TO HUMAN RESORCE MACHINE

[@austinarsenault9867]

All you had to do on that last puzzle was go from 13:39, and "add 0" just one more time

[@glasspug]

Man, who would expect a programmer being good at a game about programming.

[@NHJ09]

this looks like a really nice fun way to introduce kids to programing

[@braders790boop]

i dont normally buy games unless its one I'am already a fan of or one i've been looking forward to for a long time. just from this video, i want this game. it looks so cool. programming puzzles is my kinda thing!

[@vooran]

Human resource machine. I feel like one. As gray and boring and...I just gonna jump into my little inferno. *In the background ''A little inferno, a little inferno just for me! :D'' *Other noise in the background ''At least I make a fun noise, aaaaah!''

[@eliasandraos8106]

Finally someone who has even the slightest idea what they're doing in this game!

[@pernizliker7657]

Nerd3 completes: Human Resource Machine

[@ThePandaclash]

Dan please finish this game! #NewNerdCompletesSeries!

[@SuperHamsterhuey]

+ThePandaclash It would take him what, 5-6 episodes at most? 4 if they were longer

[@chaselovell2554]

This game is too hard. With a lot of levels it won't be that short.

[@85Portar]

Just completed this game, so much fun, now I just need to optimize every single..bit.. of it. Pun intended. So satisfying to create a bubble sort in human resource machine logic ;).

[@ReaperP13]

is there a way to limit the jump? like in year 10 could you have had it do the add copy 3x then outbox, then the perma-loop?

[@AnonEyeMouse]

I hope you appreciate the fact I sat through a 3 minute ad for christmas to watch this.

[@timpeak6143]

Oh my god... DAN is Emma Blackery?

[@RedSkullington]

No, it's the Wonkavator, it can go sideways and slantways and front ways and squareways!

[@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470]

Your channel is a good *resource* for watching videos! You pump them out like a *machine*! I would make better puns but you know, I'm only *human*!

[@aerohydra3849]

Wow I really need to try this, should remind me of those wonderful ah ha moments when you're programming and a solution just comes to your mind, especially probably in the later game.

[@mariosonicboom123]

Thank god for how you are a smart person and a funny youtuber at the same time. That's rare to find, the only other youtuber would be chuggaaconroy but he doesn't go to such a broad array of games.

[@wotchadave]

Solution to last puzzle; > Inbox > Copyto 0 > Copyto 1 > Add 0 > Copyto 0 > Add 0 > Copyto 0 > Add 0 > Copyto 0 > Add 0 > Copyto 0 > Add 0 > Copyto 2 > Copyfrom 1 > Add 1 > Copyto 1 > Add 1 > Copyto 1 > Add 1 > Add 2 > Outbox > Jump (i.e., all you do is 2^5 = 32 and save it into box 2, then 2^3 = 8 from box 1, and when you add them you get 32+8 = 40 times the original number)

[@darkomihokovic545]

+wotchadave thats complicated

[@wotchadave]

+darko mihokovic ...it is?

[@darkomihokovic545]

wow you could use jump

[@FlapHedge]

this game is highly recommended for anyone who is in computer programming

[@griffinhumbert4890]

All other music is in game music it makes me want this back

[@chasepatchak1382]

at 6:14 my phone went off at the perfect time as if it were the bell and they had to get back to work, like perfectly when she clapped

[@LongLiveTheDoors67]

since multiplying by 40 is just multiplying by (2^5 + 2^3) you can make a program that would add a tile you itself 3 times, then 5 times then add the results together. inbox copy to 0 copy to 1 add 0 copy to 0 add 0 copy to 0 add0 copy to 2 copy from 1 add 1 copy to 1 add 1 copy to 1 add 1 copy to 1 add 1 copy to 1 add 1 add 2 outbox repeat

[@LongLiveTheDoors67]

but there is probably a shorter way to do it.maybe with jumps

[@TheJeleb]

+LongLiveTheDoors67 I was thinking that, but you would end up creating an infinite loop..

[@catbert7]

+LongLiveTheDoors67 That's what he did at the end... Only he did the more efficient way :p

[@jonathanprince5356]

It sounds like his 'Hello Procrastinators and welcome to' intro has just been cut off the beginning...

[@foleyproductioninc]

"Does time fly when you have a job?" Ha!! No

[@CandyCaneArms]

Yesssss I've been wanting you to make this video for ages.

[@EllipticGeometry]

I want to see you finish it. Either that or TIS-100. Have fun! In all seriousness, you're doing quite well so far. KZbinrs tend not to be made for this.

[@chase_like_the_bank]

The final test is implementing a red-black binary search tree

[@EggLordMan]

please do a complete series on dis game

[@jbal6956]

Did anyone else pause the video at the beginning of each puzzle to try and work it out before Dan?

[@edstervedster]

Thanks Dan for not being totally incompetent!

[@xangelmoonx]

You completed Floor 4 in a simpler way then intended.........good job! And Rainy Summer!

[@Botan-VEVO]

im gonna be honest i miss dans old theme song like this to spread the word

[@Flyingbearfitness]

you should do a mini series on this game its quite good :)

[@stephenredford7152]

if you pause while the main character is blinking... OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOOOOOP!

[@dr.sharktooth3587]

I'm going to have to pick this game up, if only to test myself. I was struggling to follow along on some of the puzzles.

[@burningflurber]

Wow this looks like exactly my cup of tea

[@armaxxx]

Programing by trial and error is not efficient, but really fun.

[@zedshrooms3582]

This is one of those games where your getting frustrated, yelling the answers at the screen. Thankfully dans a hell of a lot quicker and more competent then other youtubers I watched (who not only spent a long time to get the answer, but sometimes do so with ever getting the answer at all).

[@josechowyi]

the building you work in this is game is tomorrow corp from little inferno! Over the smoke stacks Over the city The Weather man

[@darkomihokovic545]

+Jose chow and the weather baloon!

[@cooldude23407]

The fact Dan is a programmer really helps him out with this game :P

[@DeathKiller307]

+cooldude23407 Except I don't think he actually is.

[@cooldude23407]

Michael IsAmazing Except he actually is. He's started his own game studio and has programmed games himself and shown them on his channel before.

[@DeathKiller307]

***** Yeah but I'm pretty sure he used game maker or something. I don't think he was actually programming. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@KaosFireMaker]

+Michael IsAmazing game maker does involve some actual programing,

[@cooldude23407]

KaosFireMaker It uses something called scripting. Code that does not require compilation prior to runtime.

[@nicktaylor1902]

All other music is in-game music. It makes me want to [NO LONGER AVAILABLE]

By 40, do 8, store to 1, carry on to 32, add the 8.

[@nadi106100]

An absolutely brilliant game to teach kids (and adults) programming or algorithm building!

[@Asp7000]

Anything made by the people who made World of Goo or Little Inferno is already a good game

[@HeWhoIsAlwaysWright]

I love how people are like "get a real job". Totally, because you would rather they live a boring, average life, instead of the person entertaining you daily. Totally makes sense.

[@darkomihokovic545]

+He Who Is Always Wright agree i dont wanna be invisible

[@charliebewsey2575]

Am I the only one that doesn't even notice that he doesn't say 'HELLO PROCRASTINATORSSSSS' anymore...?

[@DisKorruptd]

anyone else want a Completes of this?

[@NameEntry]

So it teaches how to program without being boring? Will buy.
