The Robot Odyssey is an archival educational game from 1984 that requires you to know basic programming principles to play.
It was a source of inspiration for the programmers of his time, and we would say that it also pushed the next generation to take up programming in general. You can either "remember the old" or test your programming, from your home computer and through your browser with a visit to robotodyssey.online website.
The game looks pretty simple: you have to escape Robotopolis with the help of three robots, which you will need to program by putting the right wiring to solve the puzzle.
David Auerbach, who writes about Slate, named it the most difficult computer game of all time, stating:
Let me say: Every child που ολοκληρώνει αυτό το παιχνίδι και αν είναι ακόμα παιδί τότε … είναι εγγυημένη μια σταδιοδρομία του ως μηχανικός λογισμικού. Και κάθε ενήλικας που μπορεί να ολοκληρώσει αυτό το παιχνίδι θα πρέπει να γίνει μηχανικός υπολογιστών. Το Odyssey robot is the hardest "educational" game ever made. It is also an amazing technical achievement and one of the most innovative games of the Apple IIe era.
Does it sound like a challenge? All you have to do is try.
