Logic and Coding Games

Programming-related games are a very popular topic on Reddit and elsewhere. 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/procedural thinking.

[This list doesn't contain programming challenge sites like HackerRank or LeetCode. Those are arguably very similar, but there are a million of them and for my purposes they aren't "gamey" enough to include.]
