Src:Card

Src:Card is a 1–2 player card game where players attempt to defeat the robotic core of an opponent's battle robot by writing code. The game is designed around a rudimentary Src:Card programming language which encapsulates much of imperative procedural programming based on academic research developed at the University of Auckland and Otago.[1] The game's language replicates conditional flow, loops, and other control structures as well as basic algorithmic logic. While it contains many of the hallmarks of a Turing complete language (such as conditional branching) the game would require a larger function set to qualify as a Turing complete imperative language.[2]

The card game was one of Malaysia's first successful Kickstarter project.[3] The game has received press coverage from most board gaming news outlets.[4][5][6][7] The game is currently being extensively used by Malaysian Coder Dojos to teach basic programming.[8] Src:Card is currently a free and open download. Players can print and play Src:Card and use open assets to modify the game.[9]
