Experience the Software Development World With a Game
A game that lets players experience the process of software development can be an excellent way to introduce programming concepts and coding concepts, such as loops and conditional statements. Games that allow this include Zachtronics Shenzhen I/O which puts players in the shoes of disaffected engineers working for an ordinary chip manufacturer and must design computer chips www.mrworkspace.nl/2016/03/16/windows-7-iops-for-vdi-deep-dive/ by hand. The circuits they are asked to design get more difficult beginning with making lights blink in a specific pattern.
The interface in the game looks very similar to the tools for developers found in browsers and teaches scripting. Screeps is a great example that combines JavaScript code with massively multiplayer online gaming in order to create self-sustaining colonies. Both games excel in teaching fundamental concepts and slowly introducing new players.
