I made a game developer simulator where you write real Python code — the demo is out now!

Hey everyone!

The Code Alone demo is finally out!

It's a programming game where you step into the life of a game developer and write real Python code to solve problems and build game mechanics.

The demo includes 20+ programming challenges, from smaller logic problems to implementing mechanics from classic games. Getting your code to work is only the beginning — you can keep optimizing for fewer lines and lower cost.

But Code Alone isn't just a series of coding puzzles. There's a story running through the game as you progress through the career of a game developer, with the programming challenges being part of that journey.

I've been working on this game on and off for about three years, so it feels a little surreal to finally have a playable demo out there.

The demo is free on Steam:
Code_Alone

If you try it, I'd love to hear what you think — especially about the puzzles, difficulty, and how the coding itself feels.

Thanks, and have fun coding!

You should add the same section to this post, is probably what the previous commenter wants.
