About
CodeCombat is a browser-based game that teaches programming through a fantasy role-playing interface, developed by the company of the same name based in San Francisco. Students write real Python or JavaScript code (and at higher levels C++, Lua, or CoffeeScript) to control a hero moving through dungeons and battles. The platform offers a classroom product, Ozaria, with structured standards-aligned units, and a home product with self-paced levels. CodeCombat is used as both a primary introductory programming course and an enrichment activity, and it is offered with a free trial and paid subscription.
