Devin's First Computer Game

1/29/2013

My son Devin has to do a monthly science project at his school. He decided early on that he wanted to keep a webpage dedicated to these projects. Around the time he first started creating his web page, I introduced him to Code Academy. Code Academy is a website devoted to learning programming, web page construction, and other computer skills that are used widely in academic, business, and creative pursuits. I had just finished the JavaScript tutorial and thought that Devin might get a kick out of it. At age 8, Devin found it a little daunting, but managed to learn enough about formatting, variables, and if/else statements to create his first silly text-based game. I'm very proud of him. Perhaps after some time spent with the Code Monster at Crunchzilla, a more kid-friendly coding site, he'll by able to add some graphics.
