How would you go about making a game that outputs long code strings and can translate them? Like the DNA in Seed. Sorry to come at this with no code, but I’m curious to know how you could do this. Would it involve stepping through a string and assigning each character to a variable somehow? I’m sort of blind here… It’s just something I think would be interesting and useful in a game.
