Learn Programming: Python - Remake

[to preface this I am a 100% beginner] so far this game actually has me super engaged and excited to learn Python! I really enjoy the way they explain theory in "layman's" terms as it were; it makes for interesting comparisons and relates the concepts to the world I already know. I'm excited to progress in the game and put everything I learn together to write actual working code.

my brain started melting at chapter 6

I bought this back on its release day when I was into learning programming and apparently didn't know any better. I must have been under the influence, because there is no way I would have consciously spent money on this. It would have been at least mediocre as a free resource, but charging any amount for this is ridiculous. The description refers to this as a "game" multiple times, but it's just clicking through text, not at all different from a very basic website. It doesn't belong on this platform and can only be considered a "game" in a sense so pedantic that literally anything could be considered a "game". There are many better learning resources and many better programming games that are actual games, like The Farmer Was Replaced. Most of those better resources also happen to be free, so there is truly no point at all in using this even if it was free.

Learn Programming: Python – Remake, developed and published by Niema Moshiri, is an educational software experience on Steam designed to introduce complete beginners to the fundamentals of Python programming. Rather than functioning as a traditional entertainment-focused game, it positions itself as an interactive learning tool presented in a visual novel-style format. The goal is straightforward: guide users with little to no prior coding experience through the essential building blocks of Python in a structured, approachable way. By blending explanatory text with embedded exercises and lightweight gamification elements, the software attempts to make learning programming feel less intimidating and more guided. The course structure is methodical and progressive. It begins with foundational ideas such as computational thinking and the basics of Python syntax, gradually advancing into more complex topics including conditionals, loops, data structures, functions, object-oriented programming, file input/output, and error handling. Each chapter builds logically upon the previous one, ensuring that learners develop conceptual understanding before moving forward. The pacing is intentiona…

for someone who is very very new to python and trying to learn basics, it is quite helpful.

This game is incredibly fun and engaging for learning Python. I enjoyed every minute of it!
