My friend Matt, whose game Hacknet has piqued the interest of educators, has been pushing me to look at educational games. I&#8217;m not really interested in these kinds of games but I told him that I&#8217;d think on it. After thinking for a while I came up with a small prototype which you can play by following the link below.<\/p>\n<p>In the game you need to write some basic programming code that will reduce all the numbers in a grid to zero. The game limits the number of times you can use loops and if statements. The game will step through your code showing you which lines are being executed and when changes are made to the grid. It should take you about 10 minutes or so to get a feel for the game. Please read the README file before starting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/cjohnson.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/programmingPrototype.zip\" rel=\"\">Download Loop Game Prototype(Windows only)<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1313\" src=\"http:\/\/cjohnson.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Capture-1024x672.png\" alt=\"Capture\" width=\"1024\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cjohnson.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Capture-1024x672.png 1024w, https:\/\/cjohnson.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Capture-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/cjohnson.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Capture-768x504.png 768w, https:\/\/cjohnson.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Capture.png 1180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not really sure if I want to pursue the game any further which is why I&#8217;m posting out to see what people think.
