Major Update v1.8.102: AI Localization



Hey there, machine learning enthusiasts, puzzle master and cat caterers!

Since we released while True: learn() back in 2019, machine learning made a huge leap forward. So it only made sense to make the game accessible for more people around the world by adding machine learning translations for certain languages. Because it's the future!

[h3]v1.8.102 Released![/h3]
  • Added alternate translations made via ChatGPT, including the Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Vietnamese & Ukrainian languages
  • Added new translations made via ChatGPT: Arabic, Bulgarian, Indonesian, Malay, Portuguese (Portugal), Romania, Swedish
  • Copywriting fixes
  • Bug fixes


Here's a bunch of cat costume codes. Press 'Esc' from your programmer's room to enter them, and then hover over your cat to select a costume: NEW_YEAR, NOSFERATU, GENIUS, JOKER, FLOAT, GAMER, GHOST, BIRD, ELECTROCAT, ALSO_GHOST, BIG_CAT, ALIEN



(Just a reminder - those codes work in our next game, Learning Factory, as well)

And if you happen to color up your Steam profile, don't forget our awesome new additions to Steam Points Shop, where you will find wT:l()-themed avatars, animated profile backgrounds, stickers, frames and emoticons:


Until we meet again!

Major Update v1.7.101: Controller Support


You know how it happens: first, you want to fix a thing or two in an old game. Next, you find yourself adding a bunch of features that you always wanted to add, because reasons. That's exactly what happened two us: 2 major updates in a row within a month, is that too much? Dr. Katz says 'NO!'

So, here goes:

[h2]Controller Support[/h2]
That's right, it's a thing now! Of course, while True: learn() was designed for good ol' mouse & keyboard, and that's a preferred means of control for most of our team members.

But maybe you're that type of player, who likes to play on PC but prefers devices tailored for gaming instead of those clickety-clackety office tools? Well, we got you!

Plug in your trusted gamepad, and go solve some puzzles!

Controller support includes full compatibility with XBOX controllers, and all other XInput controllers and PlayStation controllers. Other brands may (and most likely will) work, but that is not guaranteed.

Additionally, controller scheme includes a very cute paw-shaped cursor! And if you find out that it's just not your cup of tea, just put the gamepad aside and return to the traditional means of control seamlessly!

Here's a couple of examples of the new interfaces (can you spot button tooltips?):

[h3]XBOX[/h3]


[h3]PlayStation[/h3]


[h3]Other[/h3]


[h3]Bonus: Virtual keyboard[/h3]


Other changes this update brings you include:
  • Added an option to turn on a visual keyboard (English only)
  • Links to educational materials updated
  • Texts update
  • Bug fixes
  • UI/UX fixes
  • Performance optimization


We hope you find this new means of controlling your schemes useful! Please share your impressions in the comments or on our very friendly Discord server.

Until we meet again!
