CodeMonkey
Game-like coding courses that run from block puzzles to typed CoffeeScript and Python.
CodeMonkey’s courses include Coding Adventure, Banana Tales and a Game Builder route, which gives a puzzle-minded child and a game-making child different places to start. Children write instructions to solve challenges rather than watching demonstrations. The courses differ more by experience level than by which language they use.
