Show HN: Code Kingdoms – a game that teaches kids to code

That said, you have some stability/UX issues. The loading delays are very long. I can easily see kids losing interest because it takes >2 minutes to load the Quick Play game. Then, once I was in the game, the graphics rendering was laggy and made my computer stutter / the screen flash. Shrinking the window made it run fast enough. I walked around a bit but as soon as I encountered the first duck the game went into loading mode again... and has been stuck there ever since.

But chances are they won't. Review the history of literacy and print media. Early on, reading and writing was a specialty practiced by cloistered monks, and delivered in finished form to an ignorant public. Later on, because of technical breakthroughs, social policy changes rightly decreed that everyone should become literate.

We take for granted that everyone should know how to read and write words, but we're in transition with respect to the same issue in computer literacy -- the ability to, so to speak, read and write code.

Being able to program a computer in the future won't remotely resemble how it looks today, any more than modern print literacy resembles quill pens and parchment scrolls.

Enriching foundations and building useful skillsets is not the same thing as taking "full control of your kid's destiny".

I'm sat next to these guys at the moment - they're working away fixing some server errors to cope with the high load.
