Inspiration and Prior Art
Came across Joy of Programming created by a > C.S. professor (Prof. Scherer) in this Reddit post.
It is Python-based and entails solving 3D puzzles.

Quadrilateral Cowboy is another 3D game, mentioned in the same Reddit post.

Great source of inspiration for the challenges. 👍
We used the language briefly in an algorithms course at my university and it was a lot of fun!
I contributed to an open-source Python (curses) implementation before moving to Swarm.

Factory/resource management game.
It has trains and programmable systems, what could be better? 🚂 @xsebek
The original ASCII version is really hard to play and I did not get far.
If Swarm survives for a few years, we might also make a graphics port. 🙂
