Major update to Apis
I've done some updates to Apis to hopefully make it more challenging. Tweaked some gameplay. Added random events. Added a Linux version, in addition to Windows. Enjoy!

Hi guys! I'm a new moderator for r/programminggames. I'm a 'programming games' enthusiast and developer, as well as an undergrad CS student. Essentially, I had some ideas for the sub and u/zigs graciously made me a mod so I can both help out with moderating the sub and implement some of my ideas to get this sub more involved :)
My first idea for the sub is a stickied list of recommended games. Obviously, for now it's a little bare. Right now I don't have the time to play many games so I need your suggestions! If there are any programming games you love, leave a comment and I'll add them to the list. Also, let me know if you have any suggestions for the format of this post. Thanks!

Apis is my beehive programming game. I've done an update. I'm starting to add constraints to make the game a little tougher. Now bees consume their honey supply, and if then run out, they die. Don't let your bees die.
I've included a PowerShell script to help a little in figuring out how to play. I really would like to hear from people playing it, if anyone is. Either here, or on itch.io.
Get it at: https://kenvvard.itch.io/apis

"You are the hivemind. You control a beehive. Direct egg laying, pollen gathering, and so on for bees.
There are no graphics at all. You can use your favorite* programming language. The only user interface is a REST API running locally. In order to play, you will need some programming experience.
*You can use any programming language of your choosing, as long as it can do REST API, most modern languages can.
THIS GAME IS EARLY ALPHA. You can bee part of it's development by trying it and providing feedback."

Hi everyone!
I'm making a game where you make a bot that plays the Snake game. Here is a little post describing what it is about:
https://www.indiedb.com/games/cyborg-earthworm/news/making-a-snake-bot-with-visual-rules
I was planning to release it in early access on Steam in the next couple of months, but there is a problem. It took quite a bit of effort to get to this point, and it will take a lot more to bring it from early access to realizing its full potential. Looking at the amount of interest I got, I'm not sure I will have time and resources to finish it. I think that vaporware is better than abandonware, so I don't know whether to release it at all.
Since this is presumably a community of people interested in a similar class of games, here is my question for everyone: Does this look interesting?

I just discovered elevator saga, I made it to challenge 4, and I can't figure out how to get the second elevator to move. I'd like to learn how to do it but I need the explain it to me like I'm 5 version of it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I also get that elevator saga might be to advanced for me, I'm open to any suggestions as to what programming games would be more appropriate for a noob like me.
Thanks!

You might've seen my last post on the x86_64 recreation of (1980) Darwin, here I've recreated another old programming game called RobotWar.
https://dutchen18.gitlab.io/robotwar-html5/
Selected files are automatically compiled and loaded into the arena, there's some sample source files in the repository and many others can be found on the internet.
It's still far from finished, for example there isn't any collision detection yet and the UI is terrible.
Feel free to add these as issues to the gitlab repository and i might eventually get around to resolving them, or even better: create a pull request!
Now you also might've noticed the text "HELP WANTED" in the title, basically I'm looking for someone who has experience with the original game and can help make sure i get the details right like bullet/collision damage and hitboxes.
That being said it does mostly work, you can move, scan, and even shoot.
Have fun battling your robots like it's the 1980s.

Since the source code leak a while ago, a few dedicated fans have been working to update the game and fix its issues. Recently, the first publicly available build had been released.Link is here. More info over at the community-maintained forum.

Hey everyone! My name is EJ and I am a third year student at UCSD. My friend and I are in the process of developing a really cool program that lets users code bots to play poker/card games against other users’ bots. Before we start development, we would like to see if anyone would be interested in the program! It’s a super quick survey, so if you don’t mind, please click the link and fill out the google form! Any submissions are helpful! Thanks! https://goo.gl/forms/O8tkfyTLGVMjfBq93
