Information technology is a passion for many users, who have made it a lifestyle and in many cases even their own course of study and work. But if we wanted to play some fun and funny computer-themed video games on the smartphone, what games should we turn to "> Sites to learn to program playing with interactive courses and challenges
Computer-themed games
1) TechRush (Android)
One of the most beautiful computer-themed games we have found is TechRush, available for free only for Android from APKPure .
In this game we will have to deal with all the types of cable normally used on the PC (from USB to DisplayPort, passing through the most famous audio and video cables); the object of the game is to insert the plug in the correct direction before the time ends. The faster we are and the higher we can go, but some types of sockets can be really difficult to guess at high speed (such as HDMI, DisplayPort but also Ethernet!). The game never ends until we run out of time or until we are wrong to insert one of the outlets of the game (some cannot be wrong even if you want because they have a single direction of insertion). Very simple gameplay (just tap on the cable to turn it and drag to the socket to confirm) but effective, if we have some nerdy friends it will become fun to play!
2) Transmission (Android and iPhone)
With this game we will face the issue of information transmission, a key component of any network (including the Internet).
You can download the game for Android from here -> Transmission (Android), while for Apple devices the game is available here -> Transmission (iOS) .
In the game we will retrace the different technologies for the transmission of information (from telegraph to fiber optics and satellite transmission) with the aim of getting information from the point of origin to the point of arrival in the least possible number of moves. The first levels may seem simple, but going forward we will immediately notice the complexity of the game, which will keep you busy for whatever the level of preparation.
Again, the gameplay is very simple (just tap and hold on one of the nodes to create connections between them) and varied (some types of transmission can be activated even with a single move, just use the domino effect between the various technologies) but collecting all the stars for each level will require large doses of logic and strategy; many levels feature technologies that you must fully understand if you want to correctly transfer information as required by the game. One of the most beautiful games ever made in recent years!
3) Circuit Scramble (Android)
With this game we enter the world of electronics, another very important topic to understand how information technology works.
The game can be downloaded for free here -> Circuit Scramble .
In the game we will have to deal with circuits and logical operators; if we have studied computer science or computer engineering we will certainly know what we are talking about! The goal is to illuminate the writing at the top by passing the current from the buttons at the bottom of the circuit, respecting the requests of the logical operators (such as receiving two impulses to generate one, or vice versa receiving two impulses to turn off the impulse d ' exit etc.). There are also switches (useful for changing the pulse path) and signal inverters, which add considerable difficulty to the game. In order to receive the highest score we will have to get the right path in the least possible number of moves, always visible at the top of the window. There are two modes available in the game: Challenge (with an increasing number of difficulty levels) and Endless mode (infinitely random generation of levels), fun is guaranteed even after finishing the main levels of the game with a random endless game .

4) Circuitry (iPhone)
In this game we will have to respect the Boolean algebra to build circuits that work in a very similar way to Ciruit Scramble for Android.
We can download this game from here -> Circuitry (iPhone). We will have various pieces of circuit available and we will have to use them correctly to let the current flow and thus be able to finish the level. A game definitely within the reach of computer engineers or electronics students that will allow you to have fun with logic and learn.
5) Logic Simulator Pro (Android)
In this game we will have to build circuits using logic gates and other electronic components.
The game can be downloaded here -> APKPure (Android).
We will find both Boolean components (as we have already seen in the other similar games in the guide) and multiplexers and demultiplexers, which will delight engineering students or for those who have embarked on an electronics-based study path. Simple to use interface, but you need to be a little knowledgeable on the subject in order to successfully use all the components.
6) Powerhouse - Circuit Scramble (iPhone)
Of all the computer-themed games, this is definitely the easiest to complete, since minimal knowledge of the components is required.
We can download the game for iPhone and iPad from here -> Powerhouse - Circuit Scramble (iOS).
The aim of the game is to correctly complete the circuit path to make it work, in a similar way to any interlocking puzzle game.
Once the course is completed, the next will be unlocked, with increasing difficulty. You don't need to be a computer science or engineering student to play this game!
7) Lone hacker
Final quote for one of the most beautiful computer games available on Android, Hacker Solitaire, which costs 2 Euros and allows you to become a real hacker by performing operations on realistic computer networks.
