    Robot Odyssey, an adventure game played by programming robots to help you. Still nothing like it.

      I’ve definitely spent time in the past looking for a game probably exactly like this! I figured surely someone made this. I’ll definitely set that aside to delve into later. Thanks!

      That sounds cool…

      God, did you ever hear about core wars? Very different thing but another weird programming “game”

      Redcode is kind of a bonkers assembly language too. I never really got into it because it’s kinda boring, but I could see this being crack for the right person.

        Space Engineers in dev mode also permits player coded behavior. The player may write scripts in C# and apply them to game objects. Scripts run in a sandboxed .NET environment.

      Still feels like an untapped niche. Doesn’t help that adventure games in general have mostly been folded into other genres now.

      Human Resource Machine and even Factorio scratched that same part of my brain.
