bopcode
Learn to code by solving puzzles, entirely in your browser
What it does
Bopcode is a free coding game that teaches programming through grid-based puzzles. You control a bot by writing code in Bop, a small language designed from scratch to be easy for beginners. Write commands like move("right") and grab() to navigate mazes, collect gems, unlock doors, and reach the goal. Each puzzle introduces a new concept, building up your skills one level at a time. Everything runs in your browser. There's no backend, no tracking, no accounts to create. It works offline too.

I've been a longtime member @ HN, but I haven't been a developer. In fact, my only HN submission has been one asking how to learn to code (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=820741). My cofounder and I decided to solve the problem by making a simple, interactive way to get started with Codecademy. We'd love your feedback. If you're interested in helping us to get more courses up (on any topic!), please send us an email at [email protected].

Pickcode is a new language and editor for getting kids started with coding. The code editing experience is totally structured, where you select choices from menus rather than typing. I made Pickcode after experiences teaching kids both block coding (Scratch, App Inventor) and Python. To me, block coding is too far removed from regular coding for kids to make the connection. Pickcode provides a much clearer transition path for students to Python/JS/Java. Our target market is middle/early high school kids, and that’s who we’ve tested the product with during development. On the…

- PAPickCode – An educational coding environment for students after Scratch2022 · pickcode.io · ▲141
PickCode is designed for use on desktop and tablet, and supports creating chatbots, visual designs, and 2D games. There is plenty of functionality missing - you can't add media to games for instance, but the current version shows off the foundation of what I'm aiming at. I taught myself to code using MIT's App Inventor, so I have an enormous respect for block based languages like App Inventor, Scratch, Snap!, MakeCode, etc. PickCode is my attempt at adding options for students who want to learn more about programming without making the jump to text, or as an alternative to block coding for…
