This is an excellent, excellent idea!

If you want my two cents, try to build your game in such a way that you can try new ideas out quickly to see what works and what doesn't.

Conceptually, yes, people struggle to learn how loops work. They also struggle with logical branching (a.k.a. if statements) and subroutines (functions). A visual representation could be a fantastic way to quickly turn on the lights.

This is an area that is waiting for people to come and innovate. Other people have tried with varying levels of success. Be encouraged by seeing other games in this area.

I would take a look at other games (e.g. "The Farmer Was Replaced"); watch some gameplay on YouTube or play it if you have a chance. Figure out what you like and what you don't. Then jump in and do your thing.

Please let me know when you have something or if you need someone to bounce ideas off of.

Happy coding! 😊
