Hey everyone,<p>I recently put together a prototype of a game for teaching devops&#x2F;backend server stuff. You navigate through servers and deploy new instances as needed. Currently it is a set of structured tutorials to get your familiar with the terminal and JavaScript coding. This prototype is a 4-level tutorial on navigating through a machine with terminal, sshing into another box, running JavaScript files ala Node.JS, and using trendy cloud-functions on demand. It was loads of fun to work on since I have a particular fascination for educational services that teach odd skills.<p>Future work includes fleshing out the game engine further, which includes implementations of SQL&#x2F;NoSQL-style databases. And a game like this wouldn&#x27;t be complete without a world view + branching paths so users can decide which path they wish to travel (DBA? DevOps? Build Manager?).<p>Question: Are you interested in seeing a real product out of this? What would you want it to cover?
