For the Beginners and the Sickos At its base, this is a learn-to-python game. It goes through a series of challenges of increasing difficulty, introducing new concepts and language tools as you level up, well-gamified to encourage you to stretch your limits. I'd recommend it to both people entirely new to programming, and people who are more experienced but want an opportunity to learn and practice python syntax. The language used here does vary from python slightly, but only in missing features rather than a total difference, so you won't learn some of the common tools python has, but will know enough to write your own code. However, there is also another side of the game. There are both tasks that have a lot of potential methods of solving it, and a leaderboard. So if you're someone who loves Zachtronics games, but has the slight criticism that they should stop pretending to be anything other than programming games, this might be for you. Go ahead and dig yourself into a deep enough coding madness hole that writing a function with the signature def make_setup_func(starting_loc: tuple[int, int], id_num: int, tick_delay: int, other_starting_locs: set[tuple[int, int]]) -> (Callable[[], tuple[dict[tuple[int, int], tuple[int, list[Direction]]], dict[tuple[int, int], dict[Direction, tuple[int, int]]]]]): represents a significant *simplification* in your code. Set up an event bus for the fun of it. Abuse looping rules to make sure your snake algorithm doesn't take 1 tick more than it has to. Go wild. The performance rules that determine the leaderboards are pleasingly simple. Most computations and O(1) data structure operations take 1 tick, variable-shuffling takes 0. Want to know how fast something runs? "Count the tick operations" is actually feasible for shorter bits of code. The result is a true gamified programming game. It's programming, but with a lot of the rough bits filed off. Not an imitation or simplification of programming game, or something that scratches the same itches, but simply programming. And if that's fun to you, this provides a lot. If it's not, hey, it's still a very good learn2python game, so you can only run through the challenges and leave it at that.
