I've heard about Screeps which is close to what you describe: https://screeps.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
I have tried Screeps in the past, and I'm not a huge fan. I really like Stone Story, but they do not have an easy way to take your saves across multiple platforms -- you have to manually import/export your save. Source: 8 months ago
-For JavaScript, my advice would be to introduce coding games. That way it's more fun and the environment would be set up better (less worrying about deep technical errors). The two games that come to mind are Bitburner (free) and Screeps (free offline/paid online), though they both have their own learning curves and require actual coding; so for a 9 year old YMMV greatly.

A good, existing example I'd like to show you is Screeps: https://screeps.com/ Personally, when I'm in the mindset of playing that game, I can't help but come back to my bot every 30 minutes to see if it's performing well. When I see that it's doing something strange, I take notes and can't stop thinking about possible solutions. When I'm not in the mood to play (i.e. Analyze the bot or program more... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
I organised a small team to develop a screeps bot. Other teams made their own basic, but amusing game or explored interesting technologies. A few teams even worked on things related to the business. Source: about 1 year ago
> Sure, maybe for some esoteric edge cases, but 5 mins on https://learnxinyminutes.com/ should get you 80% of the way there, and an afternoon looking at big projects or guidelines/examples should you another 18% of the way. Not for C++, and even for other languages, it's not the language that's hard, it's the idioms. Python written by experts can be well-nigh incomprehensible (you can save typing out... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
> Learning a new language shouldn't be difficult. Programmers are expected to familiarize themselves with new tech. I wish any large company agreed with this. I've worked for a company that on boarded every single new engineer to a very niche language (F#) in a few days. Also, everybody I worked with there was amazing. Probably because of that kind of mindset. Meanwhile google tiptoes around teams adopting kotlin... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
When I want to get a quick feel for a language I've never heard of, I usually look for the Learn X in Y Minutes[0] page for it. Shen doesn't have one. Perhaps the author and/or poster should remedy that? [0] https://learnxinyminutes.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

StackOverflow's making their own competing LLM for all this stuff. IMO, one of the biggest problems with the way people use LLMs right now, is that they're being treated as a single oracle: to know Java, it must be trained on examples of Java. It would be much better if their language comprehension abilities were kept separated from their knowledge (and there are development efforts in this direction), so in this... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
