A game that allows players to experience the process of software development is a great method of teaching programming and coding concepts like loops and conditional statements. Zachtronics Shenzhen I/O is one game that accomplishes this. It puts players in the shoes of unhappy engineers who work for a dull company and are required to design computer chips manually. They are given increasingly challenging circuits to design. They begin with the making lights flash in a specific pattern.

The game’s interface looks very similar to tools for developers found in browsers and teaches scripting. Screeps is another great example, which is a game that combines JavaScript code with massively multiplayer online gaming to build self sustaining colonies. Both games do a fantastic job of teaching fundamental concepts as well as slowly introducing new ones.
