ADVERTISING COPY: Use video games to learn how to program a video game! Build your own game controller! Experiment and learn to write real computer programs!
First, kids assemble a game pad themselves with an Arduino minicomputer built in. Then Code Gamer teaches coding using the open-source Arduino programming language and the game pad. Kids play and learn coding in progressive levels through fun puzzles and games in the free CodeGamer app on their iOS or Android mobile device. As they solve puzzles and beat challenges, they learn more about coding!
But this isn't just an 8-bit bunny slope of primitive computer language. Code Gamer teaches complexities of coding to run programs that would make a TRS-80 melt (people born in the 1970's referred to them as "Trash 80's"). Using the 4 included Sensorbots, young programmers learn how to code and activate functions using temperature, noise, light and touch. All 64 KB (yes, kilobytes) of RAM in a Commodore 64 would start crying if you tried that back in the day.
In addition to coding and gaming, Code Gamer is a maker's tool that empowers kids to export their creativity. With the ability to configure their own gamepad and advanced knowledge of programming language, kids will graduate to new experiments and projects. Soon, they'll be programming their own work! Game on.
