    Zachtronics is back!! Was bummed when they said they weren’t making anymore games, guess they just changed names.

    They made some of the best programming games out there for anyone that hasn’t heard of them.

      I am amused to report that this is a legally distinct definitely-not-Zachtronics company that just happens to have two guys (including Zach) from Zachtronics in.

      … But yeah, they’re back, whoo!

      I’ve not heard of Zachtronics, but love puzzle games. Do you have a recommended one of theirs?

        All of them are pretty great! I’ve played a bunch of Shenzhen/IO, and it taught me a lot about low-level programming.

        Depends on what you like, I suggest that you check them out yourself

        Can’t really go wrong with any of their games but Infinifactory and EXAPUNKS are my favs.
