Re: Show HN: Code Kingdoms – a game that teaches kids to code
#2Just a bit of background: We've been teaching Computer Science and programming in schools for several years and noticed the resources are not tailored to the kids themselves. Code Kingdoms teaches 6-13 year olds code in a way they enjoy: by playing a game and creating their own levels. Our aim is simple, to create a new generation of programmers by getting them to code in ways they find fun.
Appreciate any feedback.

#3I hit "quick play" and it asked if I was connected to the internet... well played, game. Well played.

#4I went to check this out, and my first two questions are how is this significantly different from Code Combat, and any idea why quick play isn't working. I'm actually trying to play from a school network and it doesn't seem to work. I'll come back and edit my comment latter with more full impressions when I actually get to check it out.

#8I get a MySQL error on the about page. May want to hide that, especially because it shows a username.
