Games for programming

Yeah its called trying to make a living. The better you get at solving client specific tasks using a certain programming language the more money you make, you can use that money to buy food and shelter.

No no no. I already have a good job with a solid career path. This is for shits and giggles.

But, yeah, most everyone is right that you just kinda start learning to program and go with that. Find a challenge (people around here seem to cling to Fizz Buzz) and try and implement it.
I mean, there are kid games for programming... Like the Python intro where you make a turtle walk around to form shapes.

Still for education and learning, but definitely a game.

I had a lot of fun with Human Resource Machine. It teaches you asm, more or less.
(http://store.steampowered.com/app/375820/ or on wii u i think)

Scratch

It teaches you C. Bubbly like a child's game, and simple to use.

>It teaches you C
Scratch is great and all, but that's not the least bit accurate. I'd say it's good at teaching the basic overall concepts of programming.

Spacechem. Sure, it doesn't have a formal text based programming language. IDGAF. It's still essentially a bunch of resource constrained multithreaded programming problems, complete with leaderboards for the most optimal solutions.

>>56414133
Not really programming, but

emacs -batch -l dunnet

It's an old text adventure game with some sysadmin/hacker aspects.
