Holy crap, this seems interesting. I'm tempted to buy it and play with goons, but like many people I have very little coding experience and I've never been great at puzzle games. Would it still be enjoyable?

Depends entirely on whether or not you want to learn how to script to a certain imo. While there are other things to do for sure, skipping scripting would skip a large part of it all

If I were interested in learning how to script, would the game help me learn? And could I have some amount of fun while doing it?

Alright this game is pretty great, though I still have no idea what I'm doing. I just got past the first half of the firewall, now I need to get the second. I constantly have to look online to ask really basic questions like "How do I send messages?" and "How do I look at my scripts?". It's really enthralling though. I imagine if you actually know how to code it all comes a lot more naturally.

One really embarrassing thing: I never learned how to type correctly. Despite being on computers my whole life I always just hunt and peck. I'm finally trying to get over that and learn to type right. It's so loving hard. Typing this out right now I'm going at about 9WPM.

After about an hour of failing to get through Mallory's firewall I learned that a "stack" in programming terms means just that, and when she asked for the user that connected after "X" meant I have to give her the one directly above "X", not the one after.

So now I'm live. What's next?
