Level Up Your Codeverse Creations: Arcade Games

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.
