Junior Coding From Scratch

Learn to code app: coder game

Free · Designed for iPad

Coding isn't just about writing commands — it's about thinking logically, building sequences, and finding creative solutions to problems. That's what our game is all about. Junior Coding From Scratch is an educational game that teaches the core principles of coding without writing a single line of text. WHO IS IT FOR? • Young future coders (5-12) • Absolute beginners with no experience (teens and adults) • Parents seeking educational screen time • Educators and STEM teachers • Gamers who love puzzle and strategy games • Anyone looking for a new hobby or a way to keep their mind sharp. Inspired by the visual Scratch coding language, our educational game makes the first step into computer science accessible, intuitive, and genuinely fun for everyone. We remove the complex syntax so you can focus on what really matters: learning to think like a coder. HOW IT WORKS Guide your cute animal character through a series of puzzle levels. The goal is simple: collect all the coins and reach the finish line. To do this, you'll need to arrange visual command blocks in the right order. You don’t write code — you build sequences. You’ll learn to analyze objectives, break them down into smaller tasks, and find the most efficient path using the commands available. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN • The Heart of Algorithms: Understand the step-by-step logic required to solve a problem. • Decomposition: Break down large, complex challenges into smaller, manageable actions. • Forward Thinking: Plan several steps ahead and visualize the outcome before running your code. • Core Programming Concepts: Naturally grasp essential ideas like sequencing, debugging, and efficiency as you progress. GRADUAL LEARNING At first, the tasks are simple. Gradually, step by step, you learn new commands, and the levels become more challenging. An important milestone is the introduction of functions. These are commands that already contain a sequence of actions inside them. Functions allow you to: - Reuse a set of actions multiple times - Simplify complex tasks with repeated actions into smaller, manageable sequences - Plan strategies more efficiently - Understand how real-world programming organizes code for readability and flexibility REWARDS & CUSTOMIZATION Learning is rewarding! Complete levels to earn in-game points, which you can spend to unlock new characters and expand your animal crew. Customize your heroes with fun accessories like glasses, hats, and headpieces, adding personality to your gameplay experience. Our app is designed to build a rock-solid programming foundation from scratch. By the time you’re ready to learn a text-based language like Python or JavaScript, you’ll already have the most important skill: the ability to think like a programmer.
