Learn conditional logic through merging donuts
Donuts is a fun merge game where students combine donuts to create the ultimate rainbow donut while learning important coding concepts! They’ll start by using built-in functions to set up the game. As they merge donuts, they'll apply conditional logic to see how their choices affect the game.
User input
Learn user input through arrow challenges

Learn user input through arrow challenges
Arrows is a fast-paced reaction game where students slide blocks off one by one using the arrow keys that match the direction of the top block. Students will learn how to respond to user input and keyboard events. They’ll use conditional logic to build the basic mechanics of the game, mastering how to slide blocks using the keyboard's arrow keys.
