This is a funny thing for me to read. The reason I enjoy programming is because the act of programming feels to me much like playing a puzzle game.

- pmoriarty 4y agoI guess it depends on the puzzle game. I enjoy programming (when I'm programming something I'm interested in, anyway), but don't like almost any puzzle games. There are a handful of exceptions: I loved Factorio (which could be considered a puzzle game), Gorogoa, Inside, and The Swapper. But Zachtronics games and most other puzzle games leave me cold.
- db48x 4y agoOut of curiosity, have you tried TIS-100? It’s less of a game and more of an emulator for a machine that never existed.
- pmoriarty 4y ago"have you tried TIS-100?" Yes. That's the first Zachtronics game I tried, and was sorely disappointed. In my view it's just a puzzle game.
- db48x 4y agoHmm. You might still think that it’s “just” a puzzle game, but did you ever try Ruckingenur II? That one actually got my heart racing the first time I played it. https://www.zachtronics.com/ruckingenur-ii/ https://www.zachtronics.com/ruckingenur-ii/
