This and 7 Billion Humans are a lot of fun as somebody that's never programmed or coded before. Highly recommend checking it out if you enjoy problem solving.

I think it's like computer building simulator or the lawnmower one lol. For someone who works in management this sounds like a terrible way to spend my free time haha. I'm sure it's still fun.

Not really. It's very much a puzzle game that simulates computer programming, in the vein of games like Spacechem and Infinifactory. It's almost like an assembly language simulator, but much more user friendly. Still, if you don't like puzzle games or programming, this might not gel with you.

This is the best programming game I've played. Right balance of difficulty with a gradual learning curve. Definitely helps if you've done assembly programming before, but if you haven't, this game will teach you the mindset you need.

Would this appeal to a 10 yr old who lives to boss her 7 yr old sister around?

I just downloaded and played for a while. It was pretty fun for someone who has never tried programming before.

macOS compatible too.

This at least the 3rd free one that's macOS compatible on this set of daily deals.



It's fun, too. Not a lot of action, more of a puzzle/thinking/programming game.

I bought this a while ago on iPad. It's very code heavy, using a small number of commands to solve increasingly complex problems.

There's a similar app called 7 Billion Humans that's similar, using a different set of circumstances and tools.

It's free. Give it a try. In all seriousness, it's probably math/programming heavy for a 10 year old that just wants to have fun... unless they already like math puzzles. I'd say fine for any teenager that likes math/programming, but still may be difficult depending on their experience.
