Game Similar to LabVIEW

Sorry I'm a lurker here & never made a post before so idk if this is the right place to post this since it's not a troubleshooting question but more of a comment/suggestion. I started in LabVIEW only a little more than a year ago when I started my job as a test engineer. But the first thing I noticed when I started learning was how much it reminded me of GameBuilder Garage on the Nintedo Switch, which I'd been using a ton recently. It's kinda like Scratch/other "intro to programming" games but the program is super similar to LabVIEW with different nodes and wiring them to each other. Main difference is that the front panel & block diagram are combined into one screen, so there's both logical elements and their actual placement in the xyz plane of the UI all on one screen, which can get a bit confusing.. But I was wondering if any other LabVIEW users have tried this game & noticed this similarity!

Very different technical level, but blueprint programming in Unreal Studio uses a similar scheme:

My own script (written in LabVIEW) looks the same too:

Just FYI Breakpoint is always around for off topic and might be a location for this.

It can be moved there by any Knight or Champion if you want one of us to do that.

So rare I get to plug Last Call BBS and indeed the whole Zachtronics catalog of "crack for engineers."

 

Last Call BBS is a collection of a few games but one is the closest to LabVIEW:

Honorable mention would go to "Schenzhen I/O."

That's Scratch coupled with a video game, no?

My youngest used "Scratch" for a while, it looked just like that. Also reminded me a lot of LEGO Mindstorms.

Breakpoint is indeed a better (good even), location.
