Looks very cool!

Relatedly, there's http://tumbleforth.hardcoded.net/, which I think looks lovely. Has anyone gone through that and would like to share their experience?

Just following up on this - this comment was my initial excitement at seeing some real Forth-based thing. I've had time since then to follow up and read the wikipedia page for ChipWits now and the blog post: the original game looks very cool. The logo from the manual on WP is so great.

I'd been making a list recently of games (old and new) that have puzzles and programming type stuff in them. It's going on the list! I could very well get on to it next after I'm finished the ketman assembly "game" (although it's not really a game, I suppose).

I hope the new ChipWits does excellently!

for your list, a few more entries, if not there already: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7118649

and you should post your list here.

Thanks a bunch. We have high hopes for our game.

That's so cool - where can we find the list?

Added! Thank you, how lovely, that is indeed very good. You've prompted me to get on with that project, and I'm organising, compiling, and getting that list ready to publish here now.
