Just 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.
- karl_gluck 13y agoFirst off, great idea! The screenshots look friendly and I think it would be something I'd have used when I was a kid. That said, you have some stability/UX issues. The loading delays are very long. I can easily see kids losing interest because it takes >2 minutes to load the Quick Play game. Then, once I was in the game, the graphics rendering was laggy and made my computer stutter / the screen flash. Shrinking the window made it run fast enough. I walked around a bit but as soon as I encountered the first duck the game went into loading mode again... and has been stuck there ever since.
- rosstargett 13y agoSorry about the duck issue, we've fixed and pushed an update. The slow response is due to the high server load we've experienced in the last hour.
