Description

while True: learn() is a puzzle/simulation game about even more puzzling stuff: machine learning, neural networks, big data and AI. But most importantly, it’s about understanding your cat.

In this game, you play as a coder who accidentally found out that their cat is extremely good at coding, but not as good at speaking human language. Now this coder (it’s you!) must learn all there is to know about machine learning and use visual programming to build a cat-to-human speech recognition system.

This game fits best for...
- People who want to know more about how machine learning and related technologies work
- Parents and teachers who are looking for a fun and easy way to make an intro to logical thinking, programming, and technologies for kids
- Programmers who want to learn new concepts that they can apply to their own coding
- Those who want to play games and not feel guilty about ‘wasting there time’ (although we believe you shouldn’t feel guilty at all while playing games!)
- Players who like to keep their brains busy and working in different ways, while still having fun
- Gamers looking to improve their problem-solving skills and feel immense sense of satisfaction and achievement that comes along with it
- People who like smart cats

Learn how machine learning works in real life!

The game is loosely based on real-life machine learning technologies: from goofy Expert Systems to mighty Recurrent Neural Networks, capable of predicting the future. Don’t worry: it all plays out as a puzzle game. No coding experience required!

Train yourself into a data science wizard!

Drag objects around your screen with a mouse! Connect them with lines (oh yeah)! Try. Fail. Optimize. Try again. Then press “Release” button and see that sweet pieces of data flow smoothly through your screen.

Embrace an adventurous lifestyle of a machine learning specialist!

Designing a groundbreaking technology requires time, experience and money. That means you’ll have to work as a freelancer, with all the excitement that comes along with it. Receive emails! Accept contracts! Sit alone in a dark room for days without saying a single word! Socialize on forums! That’s what real data scientists do!

Coding just got real!

Our quests are based on actual problems, solved by machine learning. This includes building a self-driving car (with your cat as a pilot). And if you really want to test your programming might, you can become a CTO of a startup: it’s your skills and your schemes against the savage laws of the market! Earn a fortune, flip off your bosses and become a tech guru… Or lose everything and crawl back to the doorstep of HR department: at least it was worth trying, right?

Improve your gear, improve your life!

Once you ensure a stable cashflow, you’ll be able to buy yourself a bunch of fancy hardware to improve your performance. But it’s not just about the hardware! Buy yourself a new smartphone or a geeky figurine! Buy fancy outfits for your cat! Hell, you can even buy yourself an aloe!

Fun fact: this is what machine learning specialists actually do. Now, you can become one of them (minus the money)! while True: learn() is the best game about being a data science specialist because no one else has been weird enough to make another one!

Future classic for programming games

I rate this as 5* because it’s fun and educational, lots of humour and programming fundamentals. Don’t worry which language to learn instead master the basics of every programming language.

Cools music, makes you think and expand your skills set, awesome 😎

Surprisingly Good

As a programmer, I actually do surprisingly enjoy this game as it has a very similar logical thinking process as programmers do. All challenges/tasks I’ve been doing has been a great fun and I would recommend it to anyone who’s keen on logical thinking puzzles.

However, there are two things I would like to point out:

1. From time to time I do see some bugs which is incredibly annoying and forces me to restart the application itself in order to fix it, especially when it comes to machine learning. (Majority of the game is bug free don’t worry!)

2. The battery consumption on 2018 iPad Pro with this game is seriously really bad, it would go from 80% to 30% within a hour which is concerning. Wouldn’t play this game without power plugged in.

Other than two points, the game itself is really good and I have no regrets on buying it!

Great, albeit hard to play on iPhone 11 Pro due to tiny text

Love this game, though I had to go back to my iPhone 6S Plus to be able to play it properly. Why? The interface does appear to scale, meaning that on the iPhone 11 Pro the text in the interface is so tiny it is practically unreadable without using the iOS Accessibility Zoom lens feature. I’d love for the developers to add a setting for UI scaling for those of us who don’t want to hold the phone against our eyeballs to be able to play and learn.
