This idea seems similar to screeps, robocode, battle-code, and to a lesser extent, Neural MMO. Source: almost 4 years ago

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 languageโฆ. Source: about 4 years ago
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: over 4 years ago
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 / over 4 years ago
I feel like Progress Quest from 2002 is the spiritual predecessor of the clicker genre: http://progressquest.com/ In that it distills the game mechanic of โmake number go upโ into a simplistic form. It just lakes the clicking. PS, whenever I relapse and play too much World of Warcraft, I play some Cookie Clicker as a cleanse to remind myself of the fundamental pointlessness of the whole endeavor. Great game. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
