All of Equestria is a computer simulation. A project by an individual to prove that it's possible.
Everything was fine until Twilight Sparkle discovered this fact. Now she and the rest of the Elements of Harmony are setting out to gain their freedom from the programmer.
But who is the true oppressor? The programmer? Or the program?
After all, who watches the watcher?
Author Note: This is more of a side project for me. I don't expect to be updating this story very often. This is what I work on when I reach a block on my other stories. I'll be leaving it on hiatus until it's actually finished, as i have no idea when updates will come. Don't expect updates at all regularly.
Chapters (2)
Again, this story will not be updated often. This is more a side project for me, used to help me get past writer's block. Don't expect anything new soon.
looks good, will watch
EDIT: finished first chapter, and i like very much.
much better take on VRquestria than other fics i have read
1742284 Well now i want to know, have you read Directive: Grow?
I got the basic idea for a computer Equestria from that story. And i must say, I've been enjoying it.
And thanks. Glad to hear someone thinks highly of it.

i did read it, and felt less like a computer to me, but more like mind wizardry with computer terms :/
1742619 Well I definantly wanted to have a technical feel to it. The code parts are loosely based on C++ and Java. And I see what you mean about the mind wizardry. Well, hope you enjoy whatever I post, whenever it may be.
You gotta tag your entities!
It's so hard to find them again when you don't know their name...
interesting, very interesting. Discord's an AI, and the world of mLP is a video game, I've seen other stories that are similar but this is the fist one I've read. I wonder how it'll go, waiting for updates!
1744065 Well, it's not such much a video game. It's more a simulation. The programmer can only mess with the world, otherwise he had no control on the system. And they're all AIs. Discord is just the only one the programmer talks to.
The whole "computer program" concept reminds me of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but this is an excellent piece of work, I must say. Keep up the good work.
1744594 either way, this makes for a very interesting concept, and has a very different tone than Stargazing, I'm looking forward to see what happens in this one.
Wait, does that mean every time Discord broke free was because Mr. Programmer needed a potty break?
1747978 Discord would be breaking free very often in that case. He doesn't. But don't worry, Discord's escapes will be somewhat explained. Just wait.
1748076 FOOL! I WAIT FOR NO MAN, PONY, OR FANFICTION!

This got updated! i love the concept of it soo very much
(Despite constant suspension of disbelief which is kind of expected for something like this)
Just wish it was a tad bit longer :/
2068304 *chuckle* Future chapter may be longer. I've got 2 other stories I'm actively writing, and another 2 that I plan to start soon. This just came to me, so I wrote it.
Glad to see you're liking it though!

Don't mention it! At least this fic makes it seem you have an idea of how progamming works. (I have minimal knowledge) so thumbs up for you :3
2068319 I am a programmer to be honest. And I wanted to show the language, without going to technical. I want everyone to understand what's going on, but not loose the tech feeling.

oh discord!
I think this is my favorite story of yours.
2084810 .............
Damn..... You know I'm much more proud of my other stuff right? Mainly Techie's Memories, though some of my new stuff is good too......
This story likely won't see an update for another few months as well........
2084867 I know you've really worked hard on Techie's memories and Stargazing together, but this story just clicked with me the most and seemed the most original. I really did/do enjoy your other stories too. This one just clicks with me the most.
When is this going to update?
5822717 Well, the story is on hiatus, and I only work on it when I have an idea for it, and don't feel like working on other stuff. So, it may not update for a long time.
