Hero Programmer Quest
April 1st, 2010
Coming in just under the wire is a new game by one Mr. Petri Purho. In Hero Programmer Quest you play a programmer tasked with keeping new NVidia drivers safe. You’ll be given a series of levels, each 10 seconds in length, where you’ll have to scan lines of code looking for various syntax errors. This is definitely a game for those in the code monkey family, so if you’re rusty when it comes to scanning such things (like I am), you’ll want to get those code muscles limber!
Hero Programmer Quest was made in 2 days.

Nice, but… Stressing!! But is funny afterall.

The errors are simple enough, but you can’t read the code fast enough once you get into the higher levels, and it’s annoying and distracting to start over every time.

This is relevant to my interests simply because my nVidia card is practically dead since around last August or September. So, when did this killer driver come out anyway?

Sorry for double post, but I’m glad to find that there’s a Programming game around. I’d love to see more of these kinds of games that boost programming skills. I’ve struggled to understand the Object-Oriented part of C++ programming.

@Tye The Czar: You might be interested in another programming-related game that a friend of mine and I made a couple of years ago entitled “RegEx Express” — a game built around learning regular expressions:
