“Shoot code here!” Don’t you wish all programming were that easy? You’re working on a huge PHP project for work and you need a dynamic table and all you do is whip out your code gun and shoot some into your IDE. Now you can, at least in a limited sense.
Code Hero is a Kickstarter project that teaches you to program games using Unity or Javascript. You can build games using ready-made building blocks and progress through increasingly difficult levels as you become a gaming master alongside your guide, a robotic Ada Lovelace.
$42 gets you a pre-order of the game and lesser donations get you sneak peeks and discounts on the finished product. You can also sponsor the makers by sending along a few thousand in order to help kids learn how to program games instead of stare at ready-made titles blankly for hours at a time.
