This Game Teaches You To Code By Automating A Farm

If you're curious about coding but find it intimidating, the good news is that there are games that make learning it fun and approachable. For example, The Farmer Was Replaced by Timon Herzog is a unique farming game where you program a drone using a Python-like language to fully automate repetitive farming tasks, then sit back and watch as your drone does all the hard work for you.

Unlike most programming games, this one isn't broken into isolated levels, offering continuous progression instead. And while it's beginner-friendly, experienced coders will still find interesting challenges in the more advanced automation tasks later in the game.

Gather resources, unlock better tech, and work your way toward becoming the most efficient farmer in the world. Although in-game language isn't exactly Python, it's similar enough to serve as an effective tool for learning core programming concepts.

The Farmer Was Replaced is currently available in Early Access, but it's officially launching on October 10. The full release will bring support for multiple drones to maximize automation, a reworked tech tree with more exponential progression, and over 50 achievements to unlock. Players can also look forward to a complete sound overhaul, a brand-new music track, and full support for 11 languages.
