This is fantastic. Are there other good programming challenge / games like this? I'd love to see a collection of other similar games.

https://codecombat.com/ maybe?

http://www.codeandconquer.co/ is vaporware at this stage.

https://www.battlecode.org/ is also great fun each year. Not sure if it continues running after the competition is over.

http://aichallenge.org/ hasn't run either for awhile unfortunately.

Check out http://www.CodeWars.com

It's the best one for doing challenges that use actual test cases. This challenge could easily be ported to that site (and I think there already are a few elevator ones)

"Human Resources Machine" from Tomorrow Corporation (it's a proper indie game, you can find it on Steam).

It abstracts simple programming concepts (like loops, branches, etc) in a visual language.

I spent way too much time with Robocode a few years back. Those advanced "surfing" bots some people built though... It was quite disheartening having not the slightest bit of a chance as a novice programmer.
