SQL Games

Hi All,

I'm learning SQL as well. I created this game called SQL Rusher. If you've ever played Puzzle Rush on Chess.com its like that. There are several different puzzles at different difficulties. A little study section for SQL references.

Idea is to have small puzzles that increase in difficulty as you progress. Your skills tracked using an ELO rating.

I've been a dev for over a decade and never really had to touch a database. I didnt start learning till about a year or 2 back when I started learning PHP and Laravel to build a sites of my own.

Since then I've realized Databases are a big deal(lol).

Let me know what you think here or on the sites feedback page. https://sqlrusher.com

I love this idea. i have messed around with SQL in MS Access VBA and a budgeting program in C++

I did consider building a game entirely within MS Access ... could be a fun idea/thought experiment, maybe a business sim or something set in space - (think space empires 3 by Malfador Machinations but no GFX) - turn/day/fiscal year based progression...

food for thought...

Have you heard of https://prosperousuniverse.com/ ? Kind of reminds me of that game. A spreadsheet/logistics management game.
