writing assembly in parallel computers. fun simple coding challenges: but complexity evolves in their solution.

Fighting the painful limitations of the architecture, banging your head against a wall failure after failure, and then finally watching your mangled child pass the tests just perfectly tickles programmer brain. The histogram will humble you.

Harder than you think (as a developer used to high level languages),
AND more satisfying than you think (once you realise how much you can do with how little).

As a Software Engineer myself, I think I'm qualified to say this:
This game is essentially a programming language / architecture in and of its own. The challenges are great and give it a game element. While programming experience isn't required to pick the game up and complete the challenges, it will definitely minimize the learning curve.
Where the game really shines is the metrics for cycles, instructions, and node counts. This leaves room for the best logical minds to shine and gives a challenge to engineers like myself to try to score the highest in all categories for any puzzle (which i don't think is possible for a lot of, if not most of, the puzzles).
If you're someone who finds this game enjoyable, and you're getting through it with no software engineering / programming experience, id say that's a good sign to look into software engineering. Its likely a field you'd enjoy as this game stimulates the same rewards / feelings you'll get as a Software Engineer.
Highly recommend for all.
A must play for any software engineers, it will essentially feel like a game version of work.

It's not exactly assembly programming and you won't exactly learn to program better. But it's a great puzzle game with programming and if you want to improve your logic skills, it's and amazing game.

I bought this game even though I'm too dumb for Zachtronics games.
I'm still too dumb for Zachtronics games, but now I know the very very basics of assembly
