|
|
|
| When making Skritter, George didn't know how to program and was constantly
|
|
|
|
|
| frustrated by his inability to implement his ideas. Afterwards,
|
|
|
|
|
| he tried learning, but the lessons were too slow. His housemate,
|
|
|
|
|
| wanting to reskill and stop teaching, tried Codecademy, but "got bored."
|
|
|
|
|
| Each week another friend started Codecademy, then dropped off.
|
|
|
|
|
| We realized it was the same problem we'd solved with Skritter:
|
2014-01-14 21:39:20 -05:00
|
|
|
| people learning a skill via slow, intensive lessons when what they need is fast,
|
2014-01-11 11:25:04 -05:00
|
|
|
| extensive practice. We know how to fix that.

| You need to write a lot of code and have a great time doing it.

| That's why CodeCombat is a multiplayer game,
|
|
|
|
|
| not a gamified lesson course. We won't stop
|

|
| until you can't stop--but this time, that's a good thing.
