Gamers have the mindset that they want to gamify everything. Why not gamify learning to code if you are a gamer and programmer 👀? There are numerous platforms for learning programming by creating games or playing games. So, in this article, I'm going to share eight platforms that I've tried and know.
Let's get started
1. CodinGame
CodinGame was my favorite gaming-programming platform. You will fall in love with programming by doing the challenges, building games, multiplayer games, and a lot more.
Features:
- Supports all languages.
- Multiplayer games
- International contests
- Lots of games: Clash Of Code, Code Vs Zombies, Code Of The Rings, Power of Thor, and so on.
- and more...
2. TwilioQuest
Update: TwilioQuest is no longer continued
If you're just starting with programming, I recommend trying out TwilioQuest. TwilioQuest is a 2D game in which you gain experience by completing quests.
Features:
- A nice soundtrack that drags your attention towards the game.
- Learn different tools and programming languages.
3. Battlesnake
Battlesnake is a multiplayer snake game. This game will help you improve your skills in programming, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data structures & algorithms. Create algorithms to help your snake grow and survive in the face of fierce competition.
Features:
- Multiplayer games
- Leagues and challenges - Never get bored
4. Screeps
Screeps will help you improve your programming (JavaScript) and AI skills. Create your colony and begin mining resources, constructing units, and conquering territory.
Features:
- Multiplayer game

- Programmable world
5. CodeCombat
Learn Python and JavaScript by playing games. Guide your character towards the end by writing code.
6. WarriorJS
WarriorJS allows you to put your skills to use. Create algorithms to climb the tower and reach the JavaScript sword. Of course, it's not that simple.
7. CryptoZombies
CryptoZombies is the best platform to master Solidity. Learn Solidity and smart contracts development by building your zombie army.

Thanks for the list.
I play Battlesnake and trying to find similar games.
FYI TwilioQuest is no longer available.
This is a cool list. I never heard of codingame and battlesnake.
But, imho, you forget the best website: checkio.org
I have written an article especially about learning to code by Gamification with JavaScript (TypeScript) that you maybe want to check out. I have some duplicates but also some editions to your awesome list!
You can find it:
Thanks for sharing!
Nice list!
Might wanna also check Bitburner
It's and idler JavaScript based game (beginner friendly), really challenging and addictive once you get used to it 😄
Wow! Nice game to get started with programming 💯.
Thank you for sharing. Never knew about this and look forward to giving them a shot.
Nice article! My favorite programming game is yare.io, but I didn't play any of games here and i will surely give them a try.
I don’t really understand why anyone else should create and develop something, if now there are already a huge number of platforms, online casinos and other sites that provide great conditions and look cool in terms of design.
Well, this is an opportunity to make money. Moreover, developers earn quite a lot, so why not? During the pandemic, there was a special boom in the gambling industry, I even read about creating sites with betting in garage, as programmers literally created the best betting or gambling platforms without leaving their homes, which helped them solve financial problems due to job loss.
Prepare to have your gaming dreams come true as I introduce you to a website that transcended all expectations. Boasting an enchanting collection of multi-game arcade machines, this online store multi game arcade machine not only fulfilled my desires but also ignited a renewed passion for the classic games that shaped my love for gaming.
