A programmable survival simulation
Program your Pog to survive as long as possible. Pog loses health each turn and from hazards. Eat food and bugs to recover. Use the command panel on the right to teach Pog how to behave.
| 🦔 PogThat's you. Loses 1 health per action. |
🛖 BurrowHome base. Rest here to plant seeds (if you have any). |
🍓 FoodEat it (BITE) for +10 health. Leaves a seed. |
| 🪳 BugEat it (BITE) for +15 health. Moves randomly. |
🌱 SproutGrows into food over time. Walkable. |
🌵 DangerStanding here costs 5 health/turn. |
| 🐍 SnakeCosts 5 health/turn. Can be scared away. |
🪨 RockBlocks movement. Can be pushed (costs extra health). |
⬛ WallBorder of the world. Impassable. |
Each command is a rule: IF I see [something] at [position] → DO [action]. Pog checks commands top to bottom and runs the first one that matches. Commands run every turn.
Grid 1: Where to Look
A 3×3 map of positions around Pog.
The positions are based on the Pog's current point of view.
For example, if the Pog is looking right, the bottom center button marked with 👣 is where the Pog is standing and up on the button panel means right (the direction the Pog is facing).

Grid 2: What to Match
Select which tile types trigger this command.
If any watched position (Grid 1) contains a selected tile type, the command fires.
|
Grid 3: What to Do
Select one or more actions. If multiple are selected, one is chosen at random each time the command fires.
|
| 👄 BiteEat food/bug here. Bite a snake. |
⬆️ ForwardMove one step ahead. Can push rocks. |
⬇️ BackwardMove one step back. Can push rocks. |
| ⬅️ Turn LeftRotate 90° to the left. |
➡️ Turn RightRotate 90° to the right. |
🔄 FlipRotate 180° (face opposite direction). |
| 💨 HuffScares all snakes & bugs in 3×3 area. |
⛏️ DigTurn a blank tile here into a burrow. |
💤 RestDo nothing. Plant a seed if in a burrow. |
💡 Add multiple commands in priority order. Put "eat food" rules before "wander" rules so Pog eats when it can. |
💡 Selecting multiple actions in Grid 3 makes Pog choose randomly — useful for unpredictable wandering. |
💡 Use Save / Load to store your best programs. Use New World (with the same seed) to replay the same map. |
💡 The highlighted area on the board shows Pog's current field of view — matching Grid 1's layout. |
