I am very interested in the idea of learning through play, and I would like to know what opportunities for this have come up for Hubski's teachers. From my own classroom experience we've had a few opportunities to play Kodu, where you either directly control a character or give it programmed instructions -- I found great personal success working with a SEN student who was determined to create a space invaders mini-game.
I have experimented at home with programming Minecraft through Python and look forward to being able to work this into the classroom, I especially aim to tie it in with the BBC micro:bit and have already tested some ideas out using TouchDevelop as it has a built-in micro:bit emulator and libraries to work with both, nothing exciting yet just making the LEDs light up when the player jumps... but it's a start!
Some resources I have come across that I liked on this subject: Three ways to use Minecraft imaginatively in the classroom
Would scratch be something that fits the bill? There is an entire free curriculum and it involves the students in making all kinds of interesting/fun things including games near the end of the curriculum. Also, depending on how you use it, the lego robotics stuff can involve students in making all kinds of interesting robots. I'm not sure if you are looking for programming specific stuff only? There are lots of other games out there for other topics too. Here's a favorite of mine for natural selection. (It's the last button on the bottom right, then click the right pointing arrow, there will be two of them)
I'm familiar with Scratch and have seen a lot of material put out for it, though it seems there's a dozen that are visually similar such as Microsoft Blocks and Snap! -- that may be because they are all based off of the same codebase, so really there's a lot of material that may also be applicable there. The Lego Mindstorms stuff I would like to play with but there's no chance I can get my hands on a kit until September and then it may not be feasible to use in the school I will be placed in. I would love to do a project with the students where they build different components of one system, the end result being a physical LEGO representation tied into a Minecraft game, perhaps using other kit like the micro:bit or a raspberry pi to add other components that the Mindstorms block can't handle. I meant it as a general question, I am definitely interested in what other subjects are doing as there's always ideas I won't have come across and I would definitely like to explore intra-subject activities and projects. One of the sites I posted about recently in #microbit has design & technology resources that I think would be great additions to what I can teach; that's the benefit of computer science... it relates to everything :)
There is also the genre of "robot battle" games where you program robots to fight each other in arenas. Here's a whole wiki page on programming games
