A game, usually a Puzzle Game or a Simulation Game, in which the player has little to no direct control over the game's events. Instead, the player's task is to set up the solution, then hit a "go" switch to activate the solution and see if it accomplishes the task correctly. Setting up the solution may require enqueuing objects with a list of commands to follow, or arranging objects on the game board to change the way they react to one another. If the solution contains elements of randomness or is particularly complex, the player will need to perform many unsuccessful test runs to adjust the solution before finding one that works.
Programming games usually have no playable characters, but sometimes one will exist for the purpose of setting up and activating the solutions. It is also common for the game to allow a limited measure of user activity while a solution is running, by means of the playable character or otherwise, but the player will need to design the solution with this interaction in mind and plan ahead for it.
Programming games, if they involve a programming-like language, can make good Edutainment Games for introducing computer science and programming to children.
Not to be confused with Interactive Fiction, Game Maker, or Game Engine. Other video game genres can have elements of this through Gameplay Automation.
