CodeSpells is a 3D immersive video game that aims to teach programming concepts through a sandbox world where the player has control over the elements. With programming embedded in the game, players can manipulate earth, wind, fire and air around them by writing programs and casting them on objects around them like magic. The purpose of CodeSpells is to make programming more accessible and more fun to people of all ages. The game is effective with children as young as 8 and is even engaging for adults. Players have the freedom to experience the world how they choose: spend a lot of time programming, writing complex and intricate spells, or using spells others have written to explore the 3D world. Players even have the option of programming in visual or textual languages, making the game accessible and playable by a large range of programming expertise.
Learn some coding: If you already know coding, great! If not, CodeSpells uses an intuitive drag-and-drop language that even a child can use. As you become more proficient, you can code in typed Javascript! It’s the coolest way to learn one of the world’s most valuable skills.
Share spells with friends: As soon as you create a new spell, send it over to your friends for them to try out! CodeSpells has a community forum where users can show off their favorite spells with other wizards or work collaboratively on spell projects.
Play Online: Create new game modes to play with and against your friends. We’ll give you the tools to make anything from a survival game to a new magic-based sport!
