## What is The Farmer Was Replaced?

Program a drone. Automate a farm. Watch your code do the work.

In The Farmer Was Replaced, you never touch a plant yourself. Write short programs in a simple, Python-like language, press execute, and your drone tills, plants, waters and harvests, with results that depend on your code.

No levels, just continuous progression: farm resources, buy unlocks, solve the next problem. Harvest hay, wood and carrots, merge pumpkins into a giant one, sort cacti, find the best sunflower, feed a dinosaur and hunt for treasure in a hedge maze. Become the most efficient farmer in the world.

A CODE KEYBOARD MADE FOR TOUCH
Every symbol you need on one screen. Brackets and quotes come in pairs. Swipe on any key to move the cursor, hold Shift and swipe to select. Undo, redo, comment and paste have their own row. Choose QWERTY, QWERTZ or AZERTY, with key clicks or vibration. Prefer real keys? Connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for more comfortable coding.

LEARN TO CODE
Loops, variables, functions, lists and more, introduced one at a time. The game gives you the tools, but solving the tasks is up to you, and that can be a real challenge. Already a programmer? Race through the basics, then run a fleet of drones.

THE MINER WAS REPLACED, INCLUDED
Take your drone underground and unlock eight new resources, including coal, quartz, mushrooms and dynamite. Dig up ancient ruins without damaging them, sort mushrooms, grow rice on clay and play Minesweeper without blowing up your drone.
