Routines
a single-player mech game to play while coding. Inspired by not being able to focus, while coding. You are a pilot of a K-Series Enhanced-Armored Battlemech.  While some mechs interface with their pilots through neural uplink, or clunky joysticks, K-series mechs are designed to be controlled solely through typing on a keyboard. K-series pilots write long routines that are then interpreted by the mech's decision core.  In action, this enables a dance with pilots activating, monitoring, and rewriting code on the fly, a constant algorithmic conversation, as beautiful and efficient as it is deadly.  In downtime, this means long hours in the hangar lounge, writing plans to ensure you're ready for the next battle, whenever it may be.
