This 100%. As first it seems a bit simplistic, but the fucking depth in this game is insane, even without mods (which btw can do anything from adding in better textures or hundreds of extra parts, to turning the kerbol system into the actual full scale real life solar system with improved physics that can simulate the effects of multiple bodies on an object at once, allowing things such as Lagrange points).

Not necessarily
If played correctly, chess can actually teach or better a persons ability to build strategy and some one who has played for long enough can think ahead by a number of moves.
I know there are people that claim to be good at chess because they memorise certain moves for individual case scenarios however that shows nothing in terms of skill except for recognition of when to use certain moves.
In short, it is not supposed to be a game of memorisation. Some just play it that way anyway and develop no skill with it

I have a B.Sc in biochemistry and I still haven't beaten space chem. To be fair it doesn't actually require any chemistry knowledge. There's only one significant portion I could argue I had a leg up, but it should be pretty easy to figure out quickly. It's a puzzle game. It's for anyone who wants to do puzzles.
>>8070778
If you want legitimately educational games involving math/physics/chem, Google "Phet simulations" which should take you to an edu domain. Pretty neat stuff. We used some of them in my high school physics AP class.
I'm trying to do a biochem game as a college project, it is basically about a cell using resources it collects form the enviroment to clear a dungeon. It's kinda like Agario, but also like the first zelda game. I did a biochem game about atoms and molecules on my last project too, but it didn't go well because I barely finished it and it was way too cheap.
Does /sci/ have any ideias I should include in the game other than genetic manipulation and substance collecting?

130 IQ here. Majority of my chess games end in stalemate.
I can keep my king alive while picking off lesser pieces all the live long day, just can never seem to mate unless they make a big mistake. Much like real life.

I feel that it's paving the way for the simulation we're all trapped inside of right now.
We're probably less than ten years from it now.
>>8083235
You just gotta put yourself out there more, and learn how to put yourself in positions where it is likely that the other will make a mistake.
This holds for both scenarios.
>>8083239
I think it shows a lot of promise, but I always feel like with games that the more "open" they make a game and the more detail they put in, the less significant or interesting that detail is.
Also they say that the planets are actual planet sized, however from the videos with one of the developers, you watch him fly from space to land on the planet seamlessly, but the feature sizes from space are way too large for how large they are on the surface. Like it doesn't actually look like it would take that much time to travel across the surface of the whole planet on foot, maybe a day.
I'm being overly skeptical but that's mostly because I'm really hoping that I am wrong.

>>8090823
Oh, I would definitely say Factorio (as it stands right now) has horrible replay value. Once you get a reasonable system going, it's horrid to try to re-design it again in a new game.
Still an excellent game to try to get stuff up and running the first time, and optimized - but to do it again is just plain repetitive. Even with different setups, the game is still mostly the same - you are bringing the resources into the same area, and processing them in much the same way.
In short, I think it's a great game, and offers lots of hours of enjoyment - but usually not more than 1-2 playthroughs (unless there's a significant update).
>>8086600
>I'm not a gamer at all.
You will probably be annoyed because most players in the upper leagues are extremely autistic and have no jobs.
I was a diamond player when I was still in high-school (before master league existed) I quit for three months when I started undergrad and when I tried to get back into it I was so rediculously far behind the latest tactics I dropped 2 leagues.

w-where can i download it?
Unreal Tournament 99 has plenty of evidence for it. It was actually used in a lot of studies for younger and older people for various basic sensory processing skills, like reaction time, field of view, 3d spatial understanding and navigation.
How game are we talking? Brain Workshop (dual-n back) is probably one of the only ones which has any evidence of actively training fluid intelligence.
I feel playing ASCII games has improved my ability to handle algebraic concepts and short-fact memorization (i.e. not a long complicated chain, but still relations of values which have discrete impact). Nethack would be the most obvious example, Cataclysm DDA can be a grindfest. I haven't played Dwarf Fortress but that's probably the ultimate brain killer.
Alot of the "executive" games like RTS are just too rote to consider "intellectual." There's tiny variation in gameplay, there does have to be a good use of maps (which just requires memorizing, the maps largely don't mutate and it's overwhelmingly concrete where chokes and resources are).
I would consider Braid an intelligence testing game, because of the focus on a relative unusual time-dependence of sequencing. Most people are so shit at algebra, and it's clear it has a strong dependence on backwards-forwards processing.
Portal 1 with some mods might be good for intelligence, as well as some of the multiplayer maps for Portal 2. Portal 2 was trash gameplay was, but there's better sequencing in the multiplayer. Portal 1 had fewer mechanics, so sequencing took a lot more depth than breadth. I've probably played like 50 hours of Portal 2 where the only goal people could come up with was "go step by step until you press the button" with very little impact of previous segments on current/future segments. The mutation aspect is key to training intelligence, because you have to have an overwhelmingly amount of choices, and to be able to use reasoning and experience to deduce better choices.

>Unreal Tournament 99 has plenty of evidence for it. It was actually used in a lot of studies for younger and older people for various basic sensory processing skills, like reaction time, field of view, 3d spatial understanding and navigation.

I've tried so hard to love DF. Lack of sane development priorities is discouraging. Have to use external tools to maintain sanity and still run into frequent base gameplay issues.

to place X select X in the submenu scrolling with the W and S, then select the region to place it
to place Z create a region, then go back into another menu and select Z and assign it to the regeion you just made, scrolling with I and K, while W ans S selects something completely different.
I seriusly dont know how its posible to fuck up the controls so bad, I can only assume its done on perpose to make it harder to play and thus let people who play it keep their sekrit klub to themselves.

Sounds like you want Aurora. A lot of people's say it's DF in space, but it has an even steeper learning curve. DF has nothing to do with /sci/ but Aurora has terraforming, colonization, asteroid mining, spacecraft engineering, calculation of physics, etc.

>>8101402
I actually already do play Aurora, and I do like it better than DF (maybe a lot of it is the setting, and how much I enjoy designing the ships).
Granted, I haven't gotten far (I've never dealt with military stuff yet), but still, I find it incredibly interesting and rewarding to learn.
>>8100749
You would like a game called Banished then. It is pretty much like Dwarf Fortress without the frustrating parts.
Also, has anyone mentioned Kerbel yet?

I have a strange fascination with sticking black holes next to our solar system and watching the fun unfold in slowed down time.

Sekrit klub is useful when you've turned your fanbase into a cult that provides a middle class income in tithes.
Mu complex. I liked playing it for fun but my comp sci friend I showed it to said it showed her how she could do a lot of illegal things she never really thought about.

Not so much a game, but space engine.

You can explore the universe. They use known astronomical data for nearby galaxies, and for further out ones it generates them procedurally. It's incredibly beautiful.

That people who are objectively better than you can also be objectively worthless.
Which means you should work on improving yourself, unless you want to be worth less.

can you briefly explain the liquor meme in Victoria to me?
also, why is Victoria so popular?

so, is anybody here autistic enough to be playing Core war?
haven't tried it, but it looks intriguing

>can you briefly explain the liquor meme in Victoria to me?
Making liquor factories is insanely profitable, and is kind of broken.
>also, why is Victoria so popular?
Despite the above, the game still has the best economic simulation of any Paradox game. Diplomacy, sphere-of-influence stuff is also handled very well, too. I especially like the American civil war simulation.
>>8104469
I've been meaning to. Give http://esolangs.org/wiki/BF_Joust a shot if you want a simple programming game to play with.
>>8104641
Thanks, been meaning to try another paradox game after first trying Stellaris. Sounds like Victoria would be fun
>>8070778
Kerbal Space Program is insanely addictive and detailed. It taught me enough to get an A in my orbital mechanics course (which, by the way, was childlike compared to the depth of KSP).
>>8105247
It is fun. I would say it's my favorite Paradox game.

Wtf is wrong with this thread if it can go 250 posts without any mention of The Incredible Machine.
>>8105330
I prefer coropata.
>>8105330
I played the Even More Incredible Machine. I think it was one of my first games. I think it has the nicest art style, too.
>>8105139
I have actually used brainfuck quite a lot and this looks fun. Will definitely try it tomorrow when I've sobered up
>>8105357
I implemented a shitty slow game based on it in python for a class. Was fun to take the champion warriors and try to adapt parts of them into puzzle-like stages and try to find some sort of difficulty curve for it. Despite it being brainfuck in a really simple arena, there's a ton of depth to get into.
>>8083224
The problem with minecraft is the stupid short redstone propagation distance.
Dwarf fortress relaxes propagation distance as being a factor, but you have to wait for a dwarf to decide he wants to pull a lever, and for the time the mechanism takes to engage.
Also there is Dig Log, which is just an ancient circuit simulator, but it's like a game to meeee!
I'm sure this game would qualify for this thread, in a lot of different ways than just the gameplay.

WTF! I need to master this game so hard!
>>8105652
I've only dabbled myself. I guess just find one that really interests you and play with it until you start to get it. brainfuck joust has a pretty high barrier of entry. Unless you find some other people to joust against you're just going to be playing against past champion warriors. I was lucky that I got my roommate into the game too so we ended up designing warriors on whiteboards to fight each other and learning new techniques around the same pace.
>>8071252
