this

A game that lets players experience software development could be an excellent way to introduce programming concepts and concepts in coding like loops and conditional statements. Games that allow this include Zachtronics Shenzhen I/O which puts players in the shoes of disaffected engineers who work for an uninteresting chip maker and must build computer chips by hand. The circuits they are asked to design become more difficult beginning with making lights flash in a particular pattern.

The game’s interface is similar to the one is found in browsers, and it is a great way to teach scripting. Screeps is a different excellent example, which is a game that combines JavaScript code with massively multi-player online gameplay in order to create self-sustaining colonies. Both games do a wonderful job of teaching basic concepts as well as slowly introduction of new ones.
