Like the game? Want more? Here's a few resources to further your spellcrafting.

Hope you're all enjoying the game! If you've gotten to the end and want more, or just want other pointers for learning more spellcrafting / programming, here are a few resources that can help you.

The game itself was inspired by MIT's Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, aka SICP. The course uses LISP, which is a programming language with the same sort of logic as the one used in the game. Though the game uses a visual representation, and the original language uses text.

The original textbook is freely available online [1]. The original lectures were also recorded, and are hosted freely by MIT. [2]

LISP is very good at allowing you to focus on the problem solving, without worrying about language details. One downside though is that it looks very different from other programming languages. It is still a very good first language to learn, but afterwards you might want to look at something a little more conventional.

In that case, I have put together a series of lessons using Javascript, which has puzzles you can solve in your browser. These are freely available on my site[3].
