What it does

GameBender is a radical new game system, where you modify ("bend") games while you play them. It unleashes wild creativity during gameplay, and allows a path into coding that looks more like a party or an art class and less like homework.

Play. Bend. Code. Blur the distinction between creating and playing. TV, Apps, Games now belong to us! GameBender - Games Reinvented

GameBender is now in its testing phase, learn more about our first beta program. We've been making educational tools for more than a decade. From Drawdio to Makey Makey, we have shipped more than 1 million products. We believe everyone is an inventor, and we want to live in a world created by all of us. Makey Makey lets you reinvent the physical world by transforming bananas and pencils into game controllers. Now we want to make it possible to reinvent the digital world.

    I built ChipBuilder to make computer architecture more approachable through interactive puzzles. You start with basic logic gates like AND, OR, and NOT, then gradually combine them into adders, multiplexers, memory, an ALU, and eventually a complete CPU. Once you've built the hardware, you can write assembly programs that run on the processor you created. The game is inspired by courses like Nand2Tetris, but everything runs directly in the browser with a visual circuit editor, simulations, and progressively harder challenges.
