Logic and Coding Games

Programming-related games are a very popular topic on Reddit and elsewhere. Over the past year I accumulated a ton of saved links, and I've finally sorted through them all.

These are the games I find most interesting and/or have seen recommended most often. Some of them actually attempt to teach you a real programming language, and some are more about logical thinking.

This list doesn't contain programming challenge sites like HackerRank. Those are arguably very similar to puzzles, but for my purposes they're not "gamey" enough to include.
