This game not only helped me secure a job, but also made me love coding! The Farmer was Replaced is a fantastic game that holds your hand while you take your first steps in programing! It not only makes it a simple, easy to learn programing game, but even encourages you to research the thing you are coding if you don't know what it does! And it even encourages you to optimize code to maximize profits! The best part? You will learn much more then you think you will learn, from maze solvers using DLS, to literally coding sorting algorithms for cactus! This game even has its own leaderboards (like any good game would)! The helpful community of this game will also help give a jump start to any new-comers to programing! You can read guides that tell what code you need, AND tell you how it works, so you can learn from it! TLDR: I recommend this game to kids, teens, and adults if they want to learn programing in a fun way!
def review_game(): hours_played = 16.4 achievements = 100 fun = True sleep = False while achievements < 100: write_code() test_code() find_bug() fix_bug() optimize_everything() if code_finally_works(): quick_print("LETS F GO") return "10/10 would automate my entire farm again now waiting for dlc" Started playing thinking it would be a simple little coding game. 16.4 hours later, 100% achievements done and I'm still sitting here trying to shave minutes off my automation like my life depends on it. Very addictive. Really fun. Send help.
I've been programming for over 5 years, and in that time I've worked with Python on a few projects, though it's been a while since I last touched it. This game brings back that nostalgia, and personally, it's a fun way to pass time without feeling guilty about being unproductive. If you're wondering whether this game will teach you Python, you're missing the point. Programming is about problem-solving and thinking algorithmically, and this game lets you do that interactively. You're writing actual code to automate a farm using core programming concepts like loops, functions, and data structures, and it maps closely enough to real Python that the concepts transfer directly. That said, there are a few things I would've loved to see in this game. 1. The farm itself feels limited after a while. Expanding it with features like animal rearing or crop variety would add depth and keep the problem-solving fresh. 2. The option to choose a different programming language. Python is a great starting point, but being able to switch to other languages like Java or TypeScript would've made this game significantly more interesting.
