This is awesome! I love this kind of games - they are very fun and educational at the same time.

If you're like me, you might enjoy these as well:

1. Microcorruption - https://microcorruption.com/ (a game that teaches about embedded systems and security basics)

2. Over the Wire - http://overthewire.org (several games based on Web security)

3. WeChall - http://www.wechall.net/ (a big list of games with progress tracking)

Ruby Warrior is another great one. I had a lot of fun with it when I needed to learn Ruby for work. https://www.bloc.io/ruby-warrior

quite the fun game EDIT: can't figure the last one out, but was fun :D

1. Move Thread 0 to end.

2. do a few iterations through thread 1 (e.g. n=5)

3. step darkness++ concurrently (via expand), so that darkness=1

4. step thread 0 to Monitor.Wait(sanctum)

5. the rest is straightforward.
