Ever since I can remember I liked puzzles. My father had a book on puzzles, and there were also puzzle magazines. I liked it much I also liked gaming very much. I don’t remember where it started, but I played a lot. Well, today I’ll talk about games that have programming involved, albeit indirectly. Light-Bot This is a very simple game at first. It scales after some levels, but a programmer shouldn’t have much trouble completing it.

One of my main interest is the end of Fortran as the only programming language used by mathematicias. If you’re not in the area of mathematical programming, you probably find it strange for me to be talking about Fortran, so I explain. Fortran is considered the fastest programming language in mathematics, and most things made are in this language. Other often used languages such as MatLab/Octave and Mathematica are high-level, which means they are slower and are not considered for serious applications.
