Ask HN: Which programming games helped you become a better programmer?
by gpa on Hacker News.
There are numerous programming games available that claim to teach you how to code. However, I couldn’t find any posts on HN that confirmed or denied their usefulness. Except this one, but it’s from 5 years ago: https://ift.tt/EdV6KiA 1. Are there any good beginner programming games in widely used programming languages (like C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, PHP)? 2. Are there any programming games that have helped you become a more advanced programmer (or a better programmer)? I am interested in games that are not just fun, but also teach you programming useful in the real world (maybe not directly, since it’s a game, but still).
