Wordle for programmers. Every score is proven.
The farming game where your code competes with everyone else's. Everyone gets the same farm each day. Write a program, watch it run, and see where it lands.

This is the game's real rules engine and language running in your browser. The farm started with one plot, one bot and an empty purse; the counters above are live. A 50-line program is doing everything else.
You don't farm. You write the farmer.
There is no clicking on tiles. You write one program in Sprout, a small language that reads like plain English, and every bot you own runs it. Bots walk, check the soil, plant what it can take, and haul the harvest back to the barn.
This is the program every new farm starts with. It already makes money. Making it make more is the game.
# Start with carrots. Questions are free; actions cost ticks.
# Carrots tire the soil, so clover (bought once) takes turns to heal it.

wait 100Grow without a ceiling
Land comes in 8 by 8 plots and there is always another one next door. Each plot and each bot costs more than the last, so past a point the only way to grow faster is a smarter program.
-
Bots
Every bot runs the same program but knows its own id, so you can split the work any way you like.
-
Hives
Hives make honey on their own and pollinate the crops around them for bigger harvests.
-
Compost
Turn spare crops into compost and feed tired soil, so the same tile keeps producing.
Six crops, one soil
Every crop drinks water, eats nitrogen and tires the ground. Clover puts nitrogen back. Berries and apples regrow after harvest. Carrots and pumpkins die if frost arrives before they ripen, and the forecast is one call away.
| Crop | Ripe after | Yield | Price | Soil nitrogen | Soil fatigue | Frost | Research |

 pumpkin | 45 s (23 s if fed) | 20 | 6 | -20 | +15 | Dies | 250 coins |

Every move is checked
Your program runs on your own machine, so it can be as clever as you like. What reaches the leaderboard is the list of moves it made, and the server plays those moves back through the same rules.
Write
Edit your program in the game's editor, with autocomplete, breakpoints and a live line-by-line view of every bot.
Run
Your farm runs ten ticks a second. The game records each move: which bot, what it did, and on which tick.
Replay
The server replays that record from your last checkpoint. It never sees or runs your code.
Rank
If the replay lands on the same farm, your net worth counts. A doctored save simply doesn't match.
Start with one plot.
The starter program farms it for you. What happens after that is up to you.
