If you loved TIS-100 you will absolutely love its follow up Shenzhen IO to death. Its like TIS-100 (in regards to the "solve problems by programming" part) only this time you also need to create the machine running your programs by taking components and linking them together. And I explicitly say "components" because you not only have microcontrollers, but also memory banks, bridges, screens and the like.
TL;DR: basically Shenzhen is TIS-100++ and its freaking awesome.

The video on that page was entirely made from ingame material, by the way.
- TooSmugToFail 10y agoI've seen it, it looks great. Do you have any idea how useful it is for actually learning how microcontrollers work?
- admiralacorn 10y agoNot the person you're replying to, but it's a good primer/introduction to toy with. Much of the waveform generation stuff and I/O aligns pretty well with stuff that was taught in school. Granted, it simplifies stuff a bit since it's a game. However, it does bring me back to my microcontroller design classes.
