Experience the Software Development World With a Game

A game that lets players to experience software development is a great method to teach programming and coding concepts such as loops and conditional statements. Zachtronics Shenzhen I/O is one game that does this. It puts players in the shoes of angry engineers who work for a non-existent firm and have to create computer chips by hand. They are presented with increasingly difficult circuits to design. They begin with making lights blink in a certain pattern.

The game’s interface looks very similar to developer tools found in browsers and teaches scripting. Screeps is another great example, which combines JavaScript code with massively multi-player online gameplay in order to create self-sustaining colonies. Both games excel at teaching basic concepts and slowly introducing other players.
