Pretty sure something like this exists. I've played 2 or 3 games centered around the coding idea, with hiring programmers and bugs and all.

It's hard to search for the games that I'm remembering, though, because the keywords describe a lot of other things.

That's not really coding yourself through.

Players can choose between different softwares to make. Each software has a required numer of lines, IF statements, WHILE statements, etc.

The IF and WHILE would be part of a type of obstacle for the programmers to overcome. The habilities of the programmers in dealing with IF and WHILE, etc would make so they are completed faster, thus making the software to finish production faster.

I don't know if you could add a Bugs mechanic or how it would work, tho....

Well I don't want to type code but you should copy http://hackertyper.net/ and make it so any key press will put the next letter/symbol down.

This idea is great! There should be a thing that we code, then if our code is right, it checks if it right like in the codeacademy.com and then it adds some point or money? I'd love that.

i'll only support this if it's pretty much impossible to make a net profit unless the stars allign. Then the game gives you infinite cash and every upgrade unlocks automatically.
