http://codearcade.co/ Anyone Can Learn to Code. Proven by scientific research. Guaranteed fun, effective, and powerful. Most educational games designed to teach programming languages are built as singular mini-games modeled after text-based adventure games, such as Code Academy. There are also highly popular titles like Hero Code modeled after a first-person shooter.

The problem is when a game chooses a single genre it requires all of the lessons to be shoe-horned into conforming to the limitations of the genre.

We at Code Arcade propose the most ideal way to use game design to teach proficiency in programming languages is to design problem sets first and then choose the most appropriate game genre to teach the solution. For example, a standard hello world exercise is best taught in a game that allows for characters to have message windows, like a platformer and a creating logic is best illustrated by an RPG where you train a Pokemon-like companion.

To serve this purpose Code Arcade will be a game-within-a-game universe where the player is guided through a virtual arcade and directed to play virtual game cabinets that will teach them different aspects of programming in a language.
