strong We have high hopes for CodeCombat.
|
|
| We want to be where programmers of all stripes come to learn and play together,
|
|
| introduce others to the wonderful world of coding,
|
|
| and reflect the best parts of the community.
|
|
| We can't and don't want to do that alone;
|
|
| what makes projects like GitHub, Stack Overflow and Linux great are the people who
|
|
| use them and build on them.
|
|
| To that end,
|
|
a(href="https://github.com/codecombat/codecombat") CodeCombat is totally open source
|
|
| , and we aim to provide as many ways as possible for you to take part and
|
|
| make this project as much yours as ours.
|
|
p We hope you'll join our party!

p One of the best parts about building games is they synthesize so many different things.
|
|
| Graphics, sound, real-time networking, social networking, and of course many of the
|
|
| more common aspects of programming, from low-level database management,
|
|
| and server administration to user facing design and interface building.
|
|
| There's a lot to do, and if you're an experienced programmer with a hankering
|
|
| to really dive into the nitty-gritty of CodeCombat, this class might be for you.
|
|
| We would love to have your help building the best programming game ever.

p CodeCombat isn't just going to be a bunch of levels.

| It will also include a resource for knowledge, a wiki of programming concepts that levels can hook into.
|
|
| That way rather than each Artisan having to describe in detail what a comparison operator is, they
|
|
| can simply link their level to the Article describing them that is already written for the player's edification.
|
