Frequently Asked Questions

I've never programmed before. Will this be too hard for me?

You don't need to know anything before getting started :) The levels start from the complete basics, and slowly work up to new ideas.

Does this cover every programming language?

The programming system used in the game focuses on general problem solving techniques, rather than a specific programming language. After playing through the game you should be able to easily apply your new abilities to most programming languages, including Javascript / Python / Ruby and more.

I like puzzles but I dont want to program. Will I enjoy this game?

If I didn't tell you it was a programming game, you might not even notice ;) Programming is really just problem solving, and I think I've made the experience pretty fun. Feel free to try the demo and see what you think.
