Code.org

Code.org is a Non-Profit program that was made in 2013. It was made to help young people to learn more about coding and making their own games in a fun way. Before we become a professional, we must learn the basics first. The first step is to play the "Hour of Code", games there consists of:

  • Star Wars
  • Minecraft
  • Flappy Bird
  • Infinity Lab
  • Frozen
  • Artist
When?
Hour of Code can be accessed at any time. You can also do it each year during an event called Computer Science education Week

Who?
Hour of Code was originally organised by Hadi Partovi (CEO and Founder)

Where?
You can access The Hour of Code here: https://code.org/ (but you've got to sign in first)

Why?
Because, Hour of Code helps students that wants to learn about coding and found it hard to do so. They can learn in a much easier and more fun way. They use this method called "Blockly" which is an easier way.

How?
How to do the Hour of Code. I will explain one by one of each game/level:

Star Wars

Level 8 (Star Wars)
The Star Wars level was kinda fun, and I must say it wasn't the best level but i still enjoyed it. Star Wars was one of the basic levels for when you first started. There were 15 levels there, on the last level we had to make our own game.

Minecraft
Minecraft was a more challenging game for me, it has more challenge and you really have to think to finish the game. This course has 14 levels. I feel like Minecraft is still on the basic levels

Flappy Bird
Everyone knows that Flappy Bird is a pretty simple game, and the code is a pretty simple code as well! We actually learned how to make this popular fun game! We can also make it unique with our own ideas.

Infinity Lab
The game just got A LOT harder! This time we're working with pixels which sooo hard. It's actually harder than it looks but the game makes it more fun and easier than it actually is.
Level 5 (Infinity Lab)


Frozen
This game was probably the hardest one. I m not that good in angles and this game pretty much is ABOUT angle. So i was pretty bad on this game but i managed to finish it.

Artist
This one is pretty much like Frozen but i think it's easier. We're also dealing with angles on this one but it's much simpler.
