I created this game for a code club I was running in my local library. It's designed to be put together in a series of 1 hour sessions which are fun for the kids and in which they learn some solid coding concepts.  

The code club was a huge success, getting good feedback from kids, parents and sponsors.  But it was closed for covid, and many of the parents turned to online, often paid for, resources. I thought I might follow their lead and go online myself. I'm a qualified teacher, I thought, so why not. I'm currently working on a YouTube version of the course, and if that is a success, I'll give Udemy a go. Maybe I'll even make a bit of money.

The game has also grown on me, so in parallel, I'm developing it as a retro 80's single screen platformer. Watch this space!
