Take The Codeverse Challenge

About Codeverse

Codeverse is an award-winning learn-to-code platform that enables kids to build video games using KidScript®. KidScript is a real, written programming language that draws inspiration from languages such as JavaScript, Ruby and Python. It features an easy-to-learn syntax that gives kids the opportunity to see their creations come to life in real-time as they type. It’s simple enough that beginners can easily get started and learn as they go, yet powerful enough to create complex apps and games. By creating, playing, and iterating on video games, kids learn core coding principles while having a lot of fun doing it. Codeverse access is available for free to all Varsity Tutors Learning Members, enabling learners to code and play games on their own schedule, choose from educational missions, and join live camps and classes for expert instruction.

About the class

Why do we love video games? Because of the challenge: we love to aim for the high score, advance to the next level, and conquer the baddest villain. And what’s better than a gameplay challenge? A game design challenge: a quest to take the key elements of coding and game design and build the one game to rule them all. In this class, expert Codeverse guide Andres Rivera will show Video Game Creation summer students his favorite secrets of the Codeverse game creation platform and lay out the framework for their summer challenge: create a delightful video game, and you may just have it published to the app store for the world to enjoy.
