[Nightsleeper] Some horrible, unindented python code to slow down a train

  • no indentation
  • multiple nested try blocks with seemingly no except
  • stray " in the middle of that string
  • input's argument should be something written to the prompt
  • even if it wasn't you'll struggle to turn that into an int
  • you probably want to be passing in that speed variable somewhere, right?

+1 for sanitising the speed I guess, wouldn't want the train to start moving backwards.

[Stranger Things S02E08] Did Bob even have to hack this system? It seems like it's ready to use

As we can see here, the system is ready to use. It is not asking for any password. Even if it did, how would Bob be able to write and execute a BASIC program without knowing the password?
