1 Overview
When it comes to gamification programming, I believe that the first thing many people think of is scratch. In fact, the degree of gamification of scratch is not high, and there are many problems such as lack of game engine and difficulty in drawing exquisite characters. So is there any way to make our programming learning like playing a real game?
Today I will share with you 10 "real" game programming software/tools.
2. CODE COMBAT
- Full name: code combat
- Introduction: Prototype is an open source programming game, you can control the character to break through the level through the code. The above link is the website of the domestic agency company, and you can play directly on it. If you have the energy, you can download the source code on github yourself, and then use your own computer as a local server. It should be noted that this kind of server that you download the source code yourself cannot be used for profit.
3. Paracrafe
- Full name: Paracraft
- Introduction: A 3D sandbox programming game developed by a company in Shenzhen. Students can control the movement of characters through graphical instructions or text codes in the game, and they can also create, build, and play in the world like Minecraft.
4. Makecode-Minecraft
- Full name: Makecode minecraft
- Introduction: A sub-platform in a series of programming platforms for teenagers launched by Microsoft, you can write programs to control the movement and construction of characters in your mc.

It's like another world where you can create games and use the currency inside to buy other people's games. In addition, they have made it possible for platform games to be packaged and available on some app stores. ROBLOX uses a programming language called Lua, which is not graphical, but it is relatively easy for students with a certain programming foundation to master. It may solve the problem of poor promotion of code programming in the upper grades of primary schools and middle and high schools. It stimulates students' interest in creation, and makes students of this age feel as excited and curious as the first time they come into contact with a graphical programming platform in elementary school, and are willing to actively explore.
7. Kudo
