Do you know any good programming games?

I’ve been out of programming practice and not feeling very motivated for building something real, so I’m looking for programming games that are fun. I’ve tried a few, I think I’d like something that has a REPL or notebook interface as well as or instead of a file-based interface.

Here are some I’ve tried:

Using a general-purpose programming language:

  • bitburner - this is quite fun, though there’s quite a lot going on
  • hackmud - this seems fun and interesting, though the community is small now. This was my introduction to JS dependency hell.

Special purpose languages:

  • The many Zach-likes - I’ve enjoyed these a lot, but I want something a bit more open than puzzle-y
  • Else.heart.break - This was quite fun, but a very slow start and then I broke the quest triggers by skipping right to the end of the game once I got the hacking device.
  • colobot a cool classic educational programming game where you’re an astronaut controlling lots of robots - I remember the missions feeling a lot easier to solve without much programming, but apparently there’s a new mission pack…

Anyway! Interested to hear your recommendations!
