If you’re looking for a fun light game for a weekend, I heartily recommend Baba Is You, a block pushing puzzler with extremely light programming elements.
The core mechanic is that the rules are blocks and can be pushed to be reconfigured.

e.g. [Baba] [is] [you] is a rule in most levels, meaning that your cursor is the cutesy Baba character. But if you had a block [Water] spelling out maybe [Water] [is] [death], you could shove it into [Water] [is] [you] and now you control all the (newly harmless) water on map.
Some of my most fun moments are finding new ways to lose, from the existential dread of (null) [is] [you] to the anatomically improbable [Baba] [is] [lava].
