My blog on code.org

Code.org is a great website for learning the basics of the coding language JavaScript or JS it provides a lot for kids such as game lab to make games and app lab to make apps. It also provides places to see and share your projects. The best part part is that code.org is free and you can do hour of codes without signing up or signing in, but, you need to sign in to unlock more content. Code.org uses blockly (drag and drop blocks) but there is a text feature allowed for typing up real code commands.

Tutorials are ways to learn how to do something on code.org. Like I used the express course to learn the basics of Code.org’s loops, functions, and debugging.

Game Lab is where you make games, unlike app lab it has no option to make more screens and to make it like a game and hide levels before you get to them you need to use the sprite visible block. In my opinion Game lab is the best way to code and have fun. Game lab is the best way to make animations

App lab is for making apps in code.org. App lab can be used to make small animations like download loading 80… 90… 100… download complete (in real life the download doesn’t happen in the computer it is all just fake.) App lab gives a good amount of code blocks available and to access other blocks you can go in the text structure and type it up like if (image_1 && image2 == 1)etc.

Play lab and Sprite lab should be removed because in sprite lab the commands do not teach you any coding. In play lab all the characters already have the graphics and movement.
