Src:Card is a 1–2 player card game where players attempt to defeat the robotic core of an opponent's battle robot by writing code. The game is designed around a rudimentary Src:Card programming language which encapsulates much of imperative procedural programming based on academic research developed at the University of Auckland and Otago.{{Cite journal|last=Robins, Rountree, Rountree|date=2003|title=Learning and Teaching Programming: A Review and Discussion|doi=10.1076/csed.13.2.137.14200 |journal=Computer Science Education|volume=13|issue=2|pages=137–172|bibcode=2003CSEd...13..137R |s2cid=10565822|citeseerx=10.1.1.100.9130}} The game's language replicates conditional flow, loops, and other control structures as well as basic algorithmic logic. While it contains many of the hallmarks of a Turing complete language (such as conditional branching) the game would require a larger function set to qualify as a Turing complete imperative language.{{Cite web|url=https://cs.stackexchange.com/q/44305 |title=Why are functional languages Turing complete?|website=cs.stackexchange.com|access-date=17 June 2017}}
