  1. @jimbob There are a bunch of video games where you need to do actual programming inside the game to accomplish things, without being games about programming.

    For example: #Stationeers requires the user to program microcontrollers using MIPS-like assembly and insert them into devices

    The Zachtronics puzzle games (e.g. #ShenzhenIO) are all fundamentally about programming.

    If 10yo is already into gaming, this could be a good way to learn the basics.

  2. I've been trying out the game SHENZHEN I/O (zachtronics.com/shenzhen-io/), and have enjoyed the assembly-like coding-based puzzle solving. So, I'm trying something new: playing a game in order to teach. We'll play the game from the beginning while I explain assembly concepts as we go! Don't know if it'll work as a stream, but if you want to join the experiment, the stream will be this Friday at 3pm UTC (everytimezone.com/s/3aaea3a8) over on youtube.com/live/wBREOhqYAPE?f ! 🕹️

  3. #Zachtronics catalogue sale now through 10/17, everything 50% off! I love their open-ended engineering puzzle games, and there are a few other genres thrown in there too. Now's a good time to pick up any of their games if you've been on the fence. store.steampowered.com/sale/za
