Washing Machine Programmer

Have you ever wanted to program your own wash programme?

...

No, you probably haven't. But I have!

How to play:

Click the clothes on the left side to add them to the washer. 

If you click them while they're in the washer they will be removed.

You can get more clothes by pressing the Summon button.

Here are the commands currently supported for the wash programmer:

  • direction - toggles the direction the drum spins
  • speed:n - sets the speed of the drum to n
  • wait:n - waits n seconds before continuing to next step
  • water:n - sets water level to n%
  • water>n - ensures water is above n%
  • fill - opens the water walve, starts filling the machine with water
  • stopfill - stops fill
  • empty - opens the drain, starts draining the machine of ater
  • stopempty - stops draining
  • loop:n - repeats the following lines n times
  • loopend - marks when the loop should end
  • beep:n - plays a beep sound n times
  • melody - plays a melody/jingle

Notes/Tips & Tricks

- Mixing white clothes with other colors may discolor them
- Water lost from clothes during spin cycles will accumulate in the drum

I keep getting "service required" at random times.

You get that when clothing flies out of the machine (i.e. the machine broke). Try loading it with less clothes and reducing speed.

(1 edit)

I've done that and it still breaks. Three articles of clothing isn't much and 90 RPM isn't very fast.

Edit: I also tried a random program that sets the speed much higher and sometimes it goes longer without failing... (I was trying to use something more realistic.)

I Wish washing clothes was this fun irl.
