I'm not sure where Human Resource Machine would belong,

https://store.steampowered.com/app/375820/Human_Resource_Mac...

might be worth adding this and 7 Billion Humans

You can get them on gog too:

https://www.gog.com/en/game/7_billion_humans

also gog has WHILE TRUE: LEARN()

https://www.gog.com/en/game/while_true_learn

because how many games expose you to machine learning?

I disagree that While True: Learn() is a game about ML. It's _themed_ as a ML game, but it's mere a share-sorting puzzle game where you are routinely load-balancing things until it works precisely as the task expect. Driving minigame was bugged at that time I was playing the game, but from what I seen on YT videos, the whole thing is about clicking "Evolve" button.

I don't know, last I looked I haven't gotten to rosenblatts perceptron part yet, so I'm not that far.

What I do know is that it was making me solve problems - at a high level - differently than looping/if-then-else kinds of things I did in other games.

Personally, it is entertainment to me, and I won't point the finger because it was fun.

HRM was personally disappointing because of both the lack of depth (no appeal to programmers) and the sudden difficulty hike (no appeal to non-programmers). Also it had (or still has?) some game-breaking interpreter bug that made me lost my code and ultimately give up.

Both have been added, thanks!
