Experience the Software Development World With a Game

A game that allows players to experience software development can be an excellent way to teach programming concepts and concepts in coding features, like loops and conditional statement. Games that allow this include Zachtronics’ Shenzhen I/O, which puts players in the shoes of disaffected engineers working at an uninteresting chip maker and have to design computer chips by hand. The circuits they have to design get more difficult beginning www.mrworkspace.nl/ with making lights flash in a specific pattern.

The interface in the game appears very similar to developer tools found in browsers and also teaches scripting. Another great example is Screeps which combines JavaScript coding with massively multiplayer online gameplay to build self-sustaining colonies. Both games do a great job of teaching basic concepts while also slowly introducing new ones.
