Whoops... made an infinite loop 😅 Have you made any oversights that have led to "oh no" moments like this?

The mainstream opinion is that infinite loops can be both a feature and a bug, depending on the context. Some users like u/whatadumbperson and u/Acceptable_Mind_9778 view them as a positive aspect in rogue-like games, similar to Slay the Spire. However, others like u/YogsWraith and u/Nyasta believe they can be problematic if they disrupt the game balance. There is a debate on whether infinite loops are acceptable in rogue-like games but not in linear games. Conflicting opinions exist on the desirability of infinite loops, with some seeing them as enjoyable while others see them as a design oversight. The discussion highlights the importance of balancing game mechanics to prevent game-breaking scenarios while still allowing for enjoyable gameplay. The author acknowledges the potential for abuse if not properly controlled. There is no strong controversy, but a clear distinction is made between game types where such loops are more acceptable.
