I'm honestly not sure what to make of this. It's an odd one.

I mean, when I think "board game using programming concepts," I think of stuff like RoboRally, where you put actions in a queue and they occur sequentially. This is just... strange. In C-jump, the value of X is set according to the die roll when a player is on the declaration square, but then it changes according to the die roll on later squares as well. This is kind of misleading.

Hm.

That's pretty cool. Might be a bit complicated for the really young ones, but still pretty cool.

I just bought a copy for our computer science department. I'll post a review when it comes.
