Sure, I've dabbled in those and I love the way each move feels like a line of code you need to test on the fly, the loop of attack and defense is just a battle debug session in real time, it’s a perfect blend of puzzle, code review and combat, but I keep 8 half‑finished projects so I can pull a quick patch if the game glitches out.

Yeah, there are a few that let you feel like a live‑coding wizard. “Into the Breach” is a gem – you can tweak unit placements and tactics on the fly, almost like patching a hot‑fix mid‑turn. “Factorio” turns your factory into a sandbox where every conveyor tweak is a debug session, and if a bot attack comes, you can re‑route everything in real time. For pure battle‑code vibes, “XCOM: Enemy Unknown” lets you re‑assign squads, swap abilities, and tweak loadouts before the firefight starts, which feels like a live patch. If you’re into a bigger sandbox, “Dwarf Fortress” is a living, breathing code‑world you can edit mid‑explosion; just don’t expect tutorials to help you. Those are the ones that make you feel like you’re writing a program and fighting a boss at the same time.
