[Edu-sig] CodeCombat online coding learning platform for Python and more languages (opensource)

[Jurgis Pralgauskis]

Hi,

I tried it via my students (found on http://code.org/learn)
http://codecombat.com/?hour_of_code=true .

Neat pedagogical approach:

   - attractive graphics (for boys esp.) ,
   - default coding language "python" :)
   - slow learning curve,
   - line highlighting,
   - some "simplified" syntax for python loops (instead of "while True",
   just write "loop")
   - didn't notice conditional statments so far

ps.: Made with coffescript  https://github.com/codecombat/codecombat
