How to Play

Code Maven teaches teens and adults a little about Javascript programming!

It's easy to play. Follow the instructions and do what Code Maven says. If you get stuck, just skip to the next lesson. You can always come back to it later!

Click on the Back button to go back to a previous lesson (or click on it a bunch to reset the lessons for another player). Click on the Reset button if you really mess up your code and want to start over on a lesson.

Code Maven saves what lesson you are on, so feel free to stop at any time and come back later. As long as you come back on the same browser on the same machine, you'll get back to your lesson.

Have fun!

About

Code Maven from Crunchzilla is live Javascript programming for fun. The focus is on action. Code changes immediately yield visible results.

Projects start with simple boxes and colors, rapidly progressing into exciting experiments with simple animation and fractals. Important programming concepts like variables, loops, conditionals, expressions, and functions are introduced by example.

Code Maven is a gentle and fun introduction to programming concepts. It is a first step in learning to program. It is not intended to teach all of computer science and programming.

Code Maven is based in Seattle, WA. It is part of the Crunchzilla suite of game and educational projects developed by Geeky Ventures.

Privacy Policy

Code Maven is extremely protective of privacy. Code Maven keeps almost no information about people who use the website.

Code Maven does not require registration. It does not have your e-mail address. It does not know who you are. When you use Code Maven, you are essentially anonymous.

Code Maven does not use cookies. If you leave the website and come back, there is a feature that will get you back to the lesson you were on. That does not use cookies. It is done using HTML5 Local Storage, which stores data on your machine, not remotely on the webservers. Code Maven does not even know what lesson you were on or how many lessons people using Code Maven have completed, and it is a bit of a shame that we do not, but that is how seriously we take privacy.

Like nearly all websites, Code Maven has web server logs that may contain the IP address used to access the web server. That is standard in nearly all webservers and not an attempt at data collection.

In keeping with standard language in privacy policies, personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to a third party unless required by law and we may update this policy from time to time at our sole discretion.

We are very protective of your privacy. We like it that way.

Old Browser Warning

Oh my. Code Maven does not like your web browser. Your browser is really old. You need a new web browser.

Code Maven likes Chrome and Firefox. You can play with Code Maven if you have those. Go get them and let's play!

If you want to try to use Code Maven anyway, go ahead and try, but Code Maven probably will not come out to play. Your web browser isn't good. She does not like it at all.
