It's a bit of a stretch to call it a programming analog, but Factorio is appealing to me in many similar ways. The ability to construct factories with input materials and output products and optimizing those factories for the best ratios and minimal footprint is very fun.
- lfowles 11y agoNot a stretch at all! I spent many nights playing factorio trying to make an efficient static typing (dumb inserters but smart belt routing) system to replace a costly dynamic typing quick hack (smart inserters with big bus belt routing). Drawing the parallels has been half the game for me and has given me more insight into how everything fits together in programming.
