What I wonder is: why has nobody noticed that code editors lack a concept of 0? When you're writing code, you can express any concept except that of an unfilled hole. We've rearranged every part of the coding process in a twisted-up way, all for the lack of a way to express lack. If you want to be more clear about what I mean, look to tools which can express holes like https://scratch.mit.edu and https://hazel.org. - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

The average house in the UK now has 1.3 laptops. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/apr/09/online-all-the-time-average-british-household-owns-74-internet-devices A windows laptop from today is vastly easier to code on that a C64 or whatever. Most houses would have an internet connection as well so they can get to all sorts of things. A Raspberry Pi is probably something richer kids get to play with.

My 2c from lots of remote math tutoring, and one coding-for-fun middle school student: - student motivation is everything. Hard to motivate thru a screen and with cameras off. Hard to keep them engaged or recognize if they're engaged. Less of an issue with adult students. - reduce friction for students as much as possible. Ideally one web tool, zero installs. Prefer tools with few failure modes, and have fallbacks... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
This idea seems similar to screeps, robocode, battle-code, and to a lesser extent, Neural MMO. Source: almost 4 years ago
Looks cool! Reminds me of robocode. 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 language…. 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
