I'm sure someone else said it already, but In the third challenge level the reason it didn't work the first time is because you made "Baba is flag and win", and because Baba is now a flag, it's no longer Baba so It's no longer win.
7:36 Reason that don't work is because "Baba IS flag AND win" turns all baba's insto flags, but it is baba that is win as well, flags are NOT win, there is no "flag IS win" In other words "Baba IS flag AND win" would be the same as "Baba IS flag" and "Baba IS win" but since in either case you turns all babas into flags there is no babas left for you to win on
if you press esc (resume) the game doesnt state the rules as ''baba is flag and win'' instead it says ''baba is flag baba is win'' so that may be useful
When you have an expression of the form A is B and C, that is the same as A is B, and a separate statement that A is C. But if B is a noun like "flag" this means A will become B, and thus no longer be A and thus the "and C" wont apply to it. So BABA is FLAG and WIN means BABA is FLAG, and BABA is WIN. That doesn't mean FLAG is WIN, so going to the flag doesn't make you win. But BABA is OPEN and WIN means BABA is still BABA, so you can go into BABA and WIN.
I don't even think the programming is the worst part here, but coming up with the levels and the gimmicks. Once that was done, the coding was probably easy enough.
Having played more of this game than my brain could handle, and then watched the speedrun to see how crazy it gets...I'm waiting for like episode 15 or however many it is when the complete and utter shenanigans happens.
At 7:30 , the rules were like this: - Key is You - Baba is Flag - Baba is Win So Baba turned into the Flag, and Flag isn't win, so you didn't win. At 7:43 , the rules were like this: - Key is You - Baba is Open - Baba is Win So Baba is win, so you did win when "You" touched Baba. I guess it was mostly confusing because it wasn't clear how the word "and" worked. If you're ever unsure what the current rules are, you can always press 'Esc', and the rules are there, listed in the pause menu.
Don't know if anyone wants to know, but in the 7:40 Bonus Level, the reason "Baba is Flag and Open" didn't work is because it works more like "Baba is Flag" AND "Baba is Open". Since Flag is not Baba, Flag is not open.
Really love seeing people play this game, takes me back some hundred hours in it. Plz go it to the end, the endgame in this game is SO CRAZY but SO FUN
11:05 I'm guessing (haven't played the game) the reason this worked is because YOU as an entity can push words but STOP prevents objects and words from moving any further so they instead stack on the same space. Maybe, I don't know lol.
The reason it worked is because Baba does not have the "STOP" or "PUSH" property, allowing the text to overlap with Baba. A similar solution is used in the base level, "Prison".
No, the order of rules isn’t why that happens. I think you’re thinking of it the wrong way: every object can share a tile with as many other objects as you can move to that tile. Text natively has push but not stop. Push means that if an object would be moved into the tile where another object is, the two objects move together. “You” just means that an object with you moves with the arrow keys. It doesn’t have “push” so it is basically an empty tile if it’s not moving.
Sandwiched WALL IS STOP betwen two Babas, pushed WALL into one Baba, then moved down so that Baba pushed IS STOP away from WALL. Similar to non-extra version of the level, but with two Babas instead of a strategically placed Keke. Trivia: this level was originally a normal level, and was turned into an extra and replaced with an easier verison after players kept saying it's too hard.
I remember doing that level. I made both BABA is YOU and KEKE is YOU and I did sooo much finicky movement to pull it off. RCE definetly found the easier way here.
I haven't seen that solution yet on the 4 challenge one. Usually what I see people do (and what I did) is push a big long string of letters to the 3rd one. I think this one was the better one
i really like watching these because even tho I've done these levels it was a while ago and i honestly sometimes dont know what i would've done in matts place
there is a game called Human Resource Machine, which is actually computer programming as a game, you should check it out. (it is a puzzle game, much like this)
"FLAG IS ROCK" would have worked, it's just crossed out because "FLAG IS FLAG" stops the flag from turning into other objects. It doesn't stop you from forming rules using AND.
7:43 "BABA IS FLAG AND WIN" didnt work because it was saying "BABA IS FLAG" and "BABA IS WIN" but the baba turned into a flag so baba doesnt exist 9:15 you didnt pay attention to the original! it said "FLAG IS ROCK AND WIN" but it cant turn into rock, so it is basically just "FLAG IS WIN"
Hey RCE long time fan! Im going on a one on one for a civil engineering apprenticeship! Just wondering if anyone has any advice on requirements or such. Thanks!
At this upload rate, it'll be 2030 before he finishes all the levels, and that's only the base game levels. If +Musuem and New Adventures it'll probably be until 2040.
You are starting to get that but I can see you're still kinda hanging on to your presumptions about objects. Theere is no difference between a cog, a robot, a Baba, a tile of water, a moon or a crab unless there's sentences in the level that give them different properties. So if you made two cogs instead of two robots - unless the level has unchangable rules that make the solution possible with only one of those - that doesn't matter in the slightest. Objects are only there to serve as groups of tiles to give them different properties with sentences and have no innate properties.
Brain is defeat Me is win (All jokes aside, there _is_ a 'character' called "me" [that's its name] in the game. It's a purple thing that looks similar to Keke.)
"Engi-neer is use-less," sounds like some architect-based slander! Motorway Matt, blink twice if you're being held hostage by some nefarious architect gang.
The joy in Matts voice, when he said "that made me think hard!" is just unparalleled (also contagious)
This game is simply a unique masterpiece. So simple yet so complex 😊
It's interesting how Matt (like me) keeps seeing that word as "death" but it's actually "defeat".
Oh yeah... it is...
Wait that's defeat
Oh yeah it is
Defeat is Death
@@Midrealm_DM yes defeat and death in the game can mean the same
You are doing all of these levels in different ways from how I did it 😂 Love the innovation!
The sign of a good programmer: "This works, I don't know why, but it works!"
As a programmer, I completely agree
As someone that is currently taking Coding for Highschool, I agree.
In my experience as a software engineer, the only thing scarier than code that breaks unexpectedly, is code that work unexpectedly.
don’t tell me i learnt from changing the transparency of a part in the worst game making engine to making chat scripts
/* Do not remove this part of the solution. I can't tell what it's doing but, the solution stops working when I remove it */
I'm sure someone else said it already, but In the third challenge level the reason it didn't work the first time is because you made "Baba is flag and win", and because Baba is now a flag, it's no longer Baba so It's no longer win.
Please come back to this man, this is a fun series that would be nice to see completed.
Pretty sure this was forgotten, unfortunately.
7:36 Reason that don't work is because "Baba IS flag AND win" turns all baba's insto flags, but it is baba that is win as well, flags are NOT win, there is no "flag IS win"

instead it says ''baba is flag baba is win'' so that may be useful
My wife actually watched this with me, so you're doing something right! Please, keep it going! Thanks, Matt.
I always love watching Matt puzzle through the levels in such a validating way
Would love to see you finish this series out.
Good morning RCE! Best way to start the day! Welcome back everyone.
Comments like this remind me how much time is different across the globe pretty cool
I end my days with his videos
@@shreyastayal2936 Yeah, it is crazy. It’s 10:30 AM my time. What time have you got?
When you have an expression of the form A is B and C, that is the same as A is B, and a separate statement that A is C.
But if B is a noun like "flag" this means A will become B, and thus no longer be A and thus the "and C" wont apply to it.
So BABA is FLAG and WIN means BABA is FLAG, and BABA is WIN. That doesn't mean FLAG is WIN, so going to the flag doesn't make you win.
But BABA is OPEN and WIN means BABA is still BABA, so you can go into BABA and WIN.
the programming that must have gone into this game
I don't even think the programming is the worst part here, but coming up with the levels and the gimmicks. Once that was done, the coding was probably easy enough.
Having played more of this game than my brain could handle, and then watched the speedrun to see how crazy it gets...I'm waiting for like episode 15 or however many it is when the complete and utter shenanigans happens.
when is he going to make more Baba is You?
The continued reading of DEFEAT as DEATH, really gets to me.
I buy games very rarely, but your videos convinced me to buy Baba is You. My kids love it. None of us have beaten it yet.
It's a shame you didn't continue with this series.
At 7:30 , the rules were like this:
- Key is You
- Baba is Flag
- Baba is Win
So Baba turned into the Flag, and Flag isn't win, so you didn't win.
At 7:43 , the rules were like this:
- Key is You
- Baba is Open
- Baba is Win
So Baba is win, so you did win when "You" touched Baba.
I guess it was mostly confusing because it wasn't clear how the word "and" worked.
If you're ever unsure what the current rules are, you can always press 'Esc', and the rules are there, listed in the pause menu.
why is he still calling it death when it is DEFEAT 😭😭
Yeah someone need to give him some english lessons xD, he clearly seem to need that xD
He's not saying death, he's saying Def. Which's phonetic writing of death, and that's the joke.
defeat implies that the level is instantly failed, death is more in line with the actual functionality of the defeat rule
I played this after your first video. Loved playing it, but I'll be damned if they didn't hurt my brain after a while
Engineer is clever
No seriously, a couple of these, I NEVER saw ANYONE solve the way you did! I myself didn't even think of those!
Don't know if anyone wants to know, but in the 7:40 Bonus Level, the reason "Baba is Flag and Open" didn't work is because it works more like "Baba is Flag" AND "Baba is Open". Since Flag is not Baba, Flag is not open.

Make an "Hello fellow engineers" Compilation!
As an engineering student, I love the miniatures of these baba videos 😂 They always pull me into the video
0:19 "it is close to the strongest rock formation"
I wonder how long it will take until he realizes that that word is called defeat
A morning person? What kind of Engineer is a morning person?
That's Architect talk.
You should continue this game again! It only gets better
1:20 the phrase you’re looking for is:
BABA IS YOU *AND* WIN
the fun Easter egg with the "baba is you" and "flag is win" on the map is really nice.
(spoilers)
that actually has a bit of importance later in the game lol, it's not just there for decoration
@@cloverlovania I know.
That is why I said "fun Easter egg"
11:04 you just accidentally figured out the level I was stuck on. What even happened?
Sandwiched WALL IS STOP betwen two Babas, pushed WALL into one Baba, then moved down so that Baba pushed IS STOP away from WALL. Similar to non-extra version of the level, but with two Babas instead of a strategically placed Keke.
Trivia: this level was originally a normal level, and was turned into an extra and replaced with an easier verison after players kept saying it's too hard.
@@ТарасДубинин I think I finally understand that now!
Because Baba isn't "Push" or "Stop", you're allowed to push text on top of it!
I remember doing that level. I made both BABA is YOU and KEKE is YOU and I did sooo much finicky movement to pull it off. RCE definetly found the easier way here.
Having already 100%ed this game, watching RCE discover it completely fresh makes me so happy
I haven't seen that solution yet on the 4 challenge one. Usually what I see people do (and what I did) is push a big long string of letters to the 3rd one.
I think this one was the better one
baba is smile. he be happy. you be happy
1:32 im thinking that you make hedge push and push the hedges out of the way then go to the flag.
I don't think I'd be good at this game - my brain just doesn't work this way 😆
Got a recommendation for a different kind of puzzler, antichamber. Could seem slow to start since you don't get to 'build' until later though.
“I might make myself a key.. so if I make key is you… Yea!”
This is so weird context
i really like watching these because even tho I've done these levels it was a while ago and i honestly sometimes dont know what i would've done in matts place
THE INTRO, HELLO ENGINEERS IS DIFFERENT!!! AHHHHHH
how baba is you works:
You are anything that the "is you" text says.
Anything is anything depending on "is" and "and"
If you are nothing, u lose
I'm going to have to get this game. I think I've bought every game you've featured on your channel so far.
baba is you is my nourishment. i require baba is you content
there is a game called Human Resource Machine, which is actually computer programming as a game, you should check it out. (it is a puzzle game, much like this)
Pls do more of this rce...
does he know that it's defeat and not death?
It's 3:45 am in NZ and this is making me stay awake and use my brain.
I've wasted countless hours on that game. It's challenging and frustrating in equal measures!
"It made the skull skink!"
- RCE
I love this series
Level 5, "WALL" was floating.
I only just realized the death tile actually says defeat.
Good morning RCE! Best way to start the day is play more BABA IS YOU
Defeat, not death. It's easy to misread, though.
"FLAG IS ROCK" would have worked, it's just crossed out because "FLAG IS FLAG" stops the flag from turning into other objects. It doesn't stop you from forming rules using AND.
Great refresh of the homepage
7:43 "BABA IS FLAG AND WIN" didnt work because it was saying "BABA IS FLAG" and "BABA IS WIN" but the baba turned into a flag so baba doesnt exist
9:15 you didnt pay attention to the original! it said "FLAG IS ROCK AND WIN" but it cant turn into rock, so it is basically just "FLAG IS WIN"
I saw the thumbnail and thought this: this was made by an architect
You know it says "defeat" and not "death" right? 🤭🤭❤️❤️
Hey RCE long time fan! Im going on a one on one for a civil engineering apprenticeship! Just wondering if anyone has any advice on requirements or such. Thanks!
Loving the series!!!!!
Love seeing you engineer some clever solutions in this game! ❤
should rename the game baka is you. would be fitting for a ton of people that play it lmao
You can press escape to see what rules are in effect.
Yay! Really like these baba is you videos
At this upload rate, it'll be 2030 before he finishes all the levels, and that's only the base game levels. If +Musuem and New Adventures it'll probably be until 2040.
Damn bloody Architects must be proud seeing this tittle . what have you done mat?
engineer is win, engineer is you
do more of this game i love it
I’ve just come back from holiday and found paddy waiting for me she is an amazing plushy😄
Yes mate, Babber is back
I would love to see you play Opus Magnum
Yay, more BABA IS YOU
You earned yet another like. 👍
I love watching you play
You are starting to get that but I can see you're still kinda hanging on to your presumptions about objects. Theere is no difference between a cog, a robot, a Baba, a tile of water, a moon or a crab unless there's sentences in the level that give them different properties. So if you made two cogs instead of two robots - unless the level has unchangable rules that make the solution possible with only one of those - that doesn't matter in the slightest. Objects are only there to serve as groups of tiles to give them different properties with sentences and have no innate properties.
To be fair, I would rather have a robot than a cog because it’s so much easier to tell which direction a robot is facing.
Object1 "and" object2 "is" action!
welcome back to baber is you lol
You getting good at this :)
Please come back to this game Matt :))
Never seen this game before but my hard on logic brain thinks this is brilliant
That thumbnail caught my eye in a not good way lol
BABA AND JEJE AND FOFO AND KEKE IS YOU
me is fun
and
brain is hurt
Brain is defeat
Me is win
(All jokes aside, there _is_ a 'character' called "me" [that's its name] in the game. It's a purple thing that looks similar to Keke.)
Whats your favorit bridge
Love these more please
"Engi-neer is use-less," sounds like some architect-based slander! Motorway Matt, blink twice if you're being held hostage by some nefarious architect gang.
Blink blink
My brain hurts...
“DEATH” is actually “DEFEAT” 😅
Sorry to be all architecty about it.
Yo
Yo-u’re first
@@z4clewis yup
this game is called life
Good video RCE
You turned babba into a flag and win. But the flag isn't win - babba was win. But babba is flag now.
Capiche?
I has a gut feeling
Baba is flag is win didn’t work because flag isn’t win, baba is
FLAG IS FLAG
