TopicI'd love a game where you play as a hacker

well, I guess it's "sci-fi" hacking, but ExaPunks and other Zachtronics games. program nanobots (with "real" assembly instructions) to do various things, in some cases hacking into your own body to do things like mod your vision. (not quite as amazing as that sounds, but definitely fun and probably the best Zachtronics programming game).

the other programming games are less "hacking" but also great:

Shenzhen I/O: work for a Chinese company building and programming small electronics devices (with "real" assembly language running in the chips and problems with synching and having enough space for all of the conections)

TIS-100: solve various problems using a mysterious very old computer that you found and booted up. this one is the least good IMO, but the other two are fantastic.

all three of these are similar, where you solve 'puzzles' using extremely constrained assembly language code, and also have to properly synchronize each separate component. you only get like 10-15 lines per component, so just a simple loop can take up a good chunk of your available space.

(also note that both ExaPunks and Shenzhen are a lot better if you print out the PDF documents they come with)
