Not a Steam game, but an amazing programming puzzle game that I keep looking for a modern version of.
Year: 2001
Title: Colobot
Link: https://colobot.info/
My description: Use code to direct wheeled, hover and flying bots to construct, combat and explore.
Description: Colobot (Colonize with Bots) is an educational, post apocalyptic real-time strategy video game featuring 3D graphics, created by Swiss developer Epsitec SA. The objective of the game is to find a planet for colonization by the human race by establishing a basic infrastructure on the surface and eliminating any alien life forms endangering the expedition. The game takes place on the Earth, Moon, and seven fictional planets. The main feature of the game, which makes it educational, is the possibility for players to program their robots using a programming language similar to C++ or Java.

Trying to remember the name of an old 3D Linux game where you're an astronaut placing batteries in robots and programming them to perform various tasks.
I remember reading about this game back when they opened the source code. Looks like it moved here, but latest commit was almost 2 years ago. r/Colobot haven't seen much activity either.

Oh if you look for programming, try Colobot , it is now 20 years old...

Please add it it's the only text-based language I know!
Well, you program it in java like language with proper syntax. https://colobot.info/

Show HN: Yare 2 – Programmable RTS game
a very different take on programmable rts is https://colobot.info/
this is a very old game that has seen an open source release (including free assets) somewhat recently.
the original game is fully playable on modern platforms; lately some multiplayer features were added that look quite a bit of fun.
this is an early-noughties 3d rts, with the twist that all units (including the enemy, though this is obscured during normal gameplay) run user-editable code that can be changed in-game.
the rts campaign is supplemented by exercises designed to introduce complete beginners to programming (e.g. write a maze solver or a waypoint-driver flight controller).
the genius is, in my opinion, in that the affordances and fidelity of the simulation is such that controlling e.g. a flying flighter is fun and accessible.
do give this a go -- perhaps with your kids.

For anyone confused by the HDL, it's the authors custom language: https://github.com/sylefeb/Silice/tree/master
It provides a compiler to Verilog that then can be fed to traditional design flows.
