Zachtronics is a beautiful developer. Such a niche genre, so perfectly executed. I'm a bit behind but just started Shenzen I/O. It's a programming puzzle game done right. This is perfect for schools, it's genuine programming-thinking packed into a game-like challenge.
It's interesting that SpaceChem apparently isn't included? Maybe because the kinda fake chemistry would drive science teachers mad?
- jcl 7y agoSpaceChem's omission is probably just oversight. The SpaceChem page itself makes a similar offer, with the same link to Zach's e-mail: http://www.zachtronics.com/spacechem/ http://www.zachtronics.com/spacechem/ A fun anecdote from a GDC talk (https://archive.org/details/GDC2013Barth https://archive.org/details/GDC2013Barth at 21:57): U.K. schools: We want to use SpaceChem to teach programming familiarity. Eastern European schools: We want to use SpaceChem to teach problem solving. U.S. schools: We want to use SpaceChem to teach chemistry.
