In defence of DWAINE, yes, it's not particularly hard to use. However, there are some things that are a bit unclear.
For instance gptio poke heater temptarget 500 gives you a FAILED message, but it does not say why. Did I get the name wrong? Hold on, there's apparently a cap on the temptarget, but it's never stated anywhere. This should be apparent in either poke or peek.
Speaking of gptio peek, it's terrible and awful and bad, why not just have info list all the fields and their values plus any caps.
Why is gptio sense a thing? What does it do? Can't it be implied that I want to sense from the device if I activate or try to read from it?
Want to hit handheld objects with the pitcher? Better gptio poke pitcher stand 1 then, because that makes sense. Wait, no, that didn't work at all...
Hold on, I took a programming course at uni! The true boolean value can be -1! Aha, that worked!
As happy as I was having solved this tiny riddle, it's a bit silly to expect everyone to know these little details, so I bet you it would not be as intuitive for an economics major, for instance.
Now I don't want Streamlined Station 13, but the current system for artlab is terrible, inefficient, convoluted and impenetrable.
DWAINE is alright, gptio sure as fuck isn't.
