I make those decks ( https://punkx.org/ ) to help me teach my daughter, and so far they seem very effective, especially the unix pipes one and the 4917 machine code https://punkx.org/4917/ and the pointers deck https://punkx.org/c-pointer-game/ , from the python deck I use only 10 cards or so btw, you might also like https://punkx.org/overflow/ which is a buffer overflow riscv assembly board game, or depending on you…

There was also a Show HN thread a couple of years ago, for people who are into the whole reading old comments thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33222687

One thing I noticed: in the game there are tasks like print the second line and print the seventh line. But both of those lines are empty. So technically e.g. a non-matching grep is a correct solution. :)
I'm curious how the "largest pipe chain" format works when the rules state that the first player to complete the task wins the round.
Are kids these days actually able to grasp things like this? I don't have kids and am never around them, so please take this question as genuine and in good faith.
Honestly I don't find that too bad. My guess is that computers will go the same way cars did: Most people will only know the very basics that are needed to operate the thing. Any deeper knowledge will be left to enthusiasts and professionals. Thus computers, while getting more complicated internally, will have fewer and fewer modi of usages.

This is really cool! One thing I noticed: in the game there are tasks like print the second line and print the seventh line. But both of those lines are empty. So technically e.g. a non-matching grep is a correct solution. :)
