Algotica - Iteration 1 - Developed by Alexander Khoroshavin
0The Verdict on OpNoobs.com:
While Algotica isn’t likely to blow your mind with excitement from its gameplay, and it’s not going to make you a master programmer, it is an excellent first step into the world of coding done up inside an adorable, engaging and truly fun indie game package, even if it’s one that has some flaws in the writing and pacing. And while it’s a lighthearted and low-stress good time to play even if taken as just a game, for those of us who have always wanted an intro into the labyrinthine world of programming but who were too overwhelmed to dive in on our own, it’s almost a godsend. There are other such beginner’s coding games out there these days, but it’s hard to imagine that any are as cute and endearing as Algotica- Iteration 1, and it would be an absolutely great game not just for adults looking to dabble in coding, but maybe even more (and more importantly) for curious kids. As a former such kid and now an adult who’s always wished he knew more about programming, I love this little game, and I doubt I’m the only one who’ll find it the way I did: as charming as it is enlightening. If learning something about coding but also playing a decent puzzler sounds fun to you, pick it up; you’ll learn a thing or two, and I can guarantee you’ll have a one cute darn time doing it.
