Wishtrap

Trčiš sam, brzinom od 8 metara u sekundi, i jedina kontrola je skok. Ceo ekran je dugme. Nivo je dugačak 600 metara, što je 75 sekundi bez ijedne greške.

You run forward on your own at 8 metres per second, and the only control is a jump. The whole screen is the button. The level is 600 metres long, which is 75 seconds of flawless play.

Kad umreš, ostavljaš zamku na mestu gde si pao, i ta zamka ostaje u svetu za svakoga ko igra posle tebe. Tri po danu. Zovemo ih željama, jer njima želiš nekom drugom zlo. Svet zato postaje sve gadniji kroz dan: svaki igrač koji umre dopiše nešto u njega.

When you die, you leave a trap behind at the place you died, and that trap stays in the world for everyone who plays after you. Three a day. We call them wishes, because you are wishing somebody else ill. So the world gets crueller as the day goes on, because every player who dies adds to it.

Svi koji igraju danas igraju isti svet. Ne kopiju, i ne nivo generisan za tebe: isti, sa istim zamkama istih stranaca. Svet se ruši i pravi ponovo u ponoć po UTC, a to je isti trenutak za sve na planeti, pa je nekome to sredina popodneva i nekome prethodno veče. Ništa se ne prenosi u novi dan.

Everybody playing today is playing the same world. Not a copy of it, and not a level generated for you: the same one, with the same strangers' traps in it. The world is rebuilt at midnight UTC, which is the same instant for everybody and therefore the middle of the afternoon or the previous evening for somebody. Nothing carries into the new day.

Za tih deset sekundi igranja sve je namerno poznato. Novo je samo to ko piše nivo.

The ten second experience is deliberately familiar. The novelty is entirely in who authors the level.

Celo pitanje iza Wishtrap-a je da li je zabavno umreti od zamke stranca i ostaviti svoju. Nikakvo pravljenje na to ne odgovara. Odgovara samo igranje.

The whole question behind Wishtrap is whether dying to a stranger's trap and leaving your own is any fun, and no amount of building answers that. Only playing it does.

Sve je korisno: bilo je zbunjujuće, bilo je previše teško, skok se čudno oseća, palo je, nisi razumeo šta je želja, dosadilo ti je posle dva puta. Loše vesti su ovde korisnije od dobrih, pa nemoj da budeš ljubazan.

Anything is useful: it was confusing, it was too hard, the jump felt wrong, it crashed, you did not understand what a wish was, you got bored after two goes. Bad news is more useful than good news here, so please do not be polite about it.
