You're PY-3, a small robot with a CRT terminal strapped to its back. The world blocks your path with dead doors, broken bridges, patrolling drones, locked vaults, and dark caverns — and the only way forward is to open the terminal and PROGRAM the world into letting you through.

PYODYSSEY runs a from-scratch, in-browser Python-like interpreter. No fakery — a real tokenizer, parser, and evaluator with variables, arithmetic, comparisons, if/elif/else, while, for-loops, lists, strings, and calls onto live world objects.

── HOW YOU PLAY ──

Walk into the world, read the signs, and grab command notes. When something blocks you, open the terminal and code past it:

  door.open()

── FEATURES ──

• A real interpreter — helpful tracebacks, "did you mean?" hints, tab-completion, and command history

• 10 chapters of rising complexity (Chapter 1 + Chapter 2 available now, more on the way)

• New mechanics as you climb: patrol drones, timed spike traps, teleporter folds, vaults, dark caverns, and more

• Zero assets — every tile, glow, and sound is generated in code. Nothing to download beyond the page

• Collectible notes teach each command; shard-gated chapter unlocks reward exploration

• A CRT aesthetic: scanlines, glow, and a bezel terminal you actually type into

── CONTROLS ──

WASD / arrows to move · E to open the terminal · ESC to pause · M music · N sfx

No coding experience needed — the game teaches you from the very first command. If you already code, blaze through with loops and one-liners.
