Of Mages and Magic is an RPG based fighting game which may be used to teach simple programming concepts.
Students write artificial intelligences which hook into the main Of Mages and Magic executable. These mages can be organised into teams which fight each other until only one team remains.
The game is currently in early alpha, meaning some aspects of the interface are a bit clunky. However, in its current iteration, it is fairly suitable for teaching.
Any and all feedback would be...
