• RTS programming game where you write real C++ code to control your player.

  This idea seems similar to screeps, robocode, battle-code, and to a lesser extent, Neural MMO. Source: over 1 year ago

• RTS programming game where you write real C++ code to control your player.

  Looks cool! Reminds me of robocode. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any coding game accessible with Go?

  I found https://robocode.sourceforge.io/ in Java, https://screeps.com/ in JavaScript (WASM from Golang seems not to work), and https://leekwars.com/ had its own language…. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Why has the Bot Battle genre been so neglected over the years?

  You had to write the intelligence of a robot/tank in a C-like language of these game development software. The bottom line is two of these programs competed against each other. If I remember correctly these battles took place in a recurring tournament and you could win a license of the game developement software, or maybe nothing. The only one I found in a 2-minute search that is similar to this is Robocode... Source: about 2 years ago

• Battleship

  One of the first incantations of this idea that I encountered, when I had just started working at my first corporate job back in the day, was Robocode ( https://robocode.sourceforge.io/ ) - it was great fun, and I see it's still going. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Featured Mod of the Month: Anita Olsen

  Anita: I have lifetime access to the subscription-based code-learning website, CodeCombat, where I enjoy learning Python and taking all the Game Development courses offered there. Those games I made were a part of the Game Development 1 and 2 courses (there is also a 3rd course) on CodeCombat. You code the games entirely on your own from scratch by the use of the knowledge you have gathered from the lessons in the... - Source: dev.to / 15 days ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• What can I do?

  So now, while you have time (yes you have no time now but when you are out of school working with a child and or no summer vacation you will have less time) you can try MIT Scratch or CodeCombat and learn to code. For you it's a long the goal is to make 1 app or a handful of apps in 4 years until you graduate. That's absolutely doable even for someone who knows 0 about coding. Then when you graduate, if you are... Source: 4 months ago

• What Programming Languages are Best for Kids?

  You can also have a look on Erase All Kittens (quite interesting) and also Code Combat. Source: 8 months ago

• And DigTech teachers willing to share?

  Https://codecombat.com/ is REALLY good, the free levels have enough content for ~10 weeks for an intro to programming term. Source: 11 months ago
