• I am stuck!

  Have you heard of CheckIO (https://checkio.org/)? They have a gameified "Mario world" of coding challenges that are smaller and come with more explanation, tests to guide you through edge cases and provide hints. The challenges start from total beginner and progress to more advanced. And best of all, after you solve a problem they show you what other people do. I highly recommend this for you. Also consider... Source: 5 months ago

• I feel like I may not be smart enough to get into the cybersecurity space

  Cyber isn't gonna be a light switch, where you can flip it and be good. Don't be too hard on yourself. Start with some hands on stuff like https://tryhackme.com or checkio.org. You could look at certs like Security+ or CySA+ for some direction. It took me years to get into cybersecurity, and I still don't feel like I know anything. Source: 10 months ago

  Much better to get your hands dirty than watching the videos. Try: https://checkio.org/. Source: 12 months ago

• Where can i test my knowledge?

  When I was first learning python I like using https://checkio.org/ Checkio provides programming problems in a gamified environment. After you have solved a problem you can see how others have solved the problem. This really accelerated my learning. Source: about 1 year ago

• Six times faster than C

  This is pretty much `assembly language the game`: https://tomorrowcorporation.com/humanresourcemachine It's not a useful architecture, but it teaches the thought process really well, and you end up discovering a lot of optimization naturally. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• My teacher wants me to show him if Factorio can be used to teach programming, I need help with ideas!

  Other options have been given in this thread and I'd agree that for this particular situation the Tomorrow Corporation's "Human Resource Machine" is probably the best match. It's a constrained environment in a game that scales up to introduce this and more. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Technology/Creative books and games for my daughter (7 years)

  Not sure if 7 is old enough, I made this card "game" with my daughter when she was 10: https://punkx.org/4917/ which is not really a game but more like a puzzle, you have 54 small programs for a 4 bit made up computer (Richard Buckland's computer) and you have to interpret them in your head or with pen and paper. It's quite interesting to play with her when I change few instructions on a card. Other interesting... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Which programming language for a kid of grade 1-6 is better?

  The game us actually called Human Resource Machine and it is excellent. I've beaten that one and its sequel. But some people might find it difficult and I would say somebody in the lower grades definitely would. Source: about 1 year ago
