CodeCombat – Coding games to learn Python and JavaScript

JavaScript’s syntax is a little more difficult for beginners than Python, so if you cannot decide between the two, we recommend Python.

Why should you choose JavaScript? JavaScript is the language of the web and is used across nearly every website. You may prefer to choose JavaScript if you are planning to also study web development. We’ve also made it easy for students to transition from Python to JavaScript-based web development.

Why should you choose Python? Python is both beginner-friendly and currently used by major corporations (such as Google). If you have younger or first-time learners, we strongly recommend Python.

Absolutely! We’ve spent time consulting with education specialists to craft classroom curriculum and materials specifically for teachers who are using CodeCombat or Ozaria without any prior computer science experience themselves. Many schools are implementing CodeCombat and/or Ozaria as the main computer science curriculum.

Does CodeCombat and Ozaria support Clever Instant Login?

Yes! Check out our __clever__ for more details on how to get started.

What about Google Classroom?

Yup! Be sure to use the Google Single Sign-On (SSO) Modal to sign up for your teacher account. If you already have an account using your Google email, use the Google SSO modal to log in next time. In the Create Class modal, you will see an option to Link Google Classroom. We only support rostering via Google Classroom at this time.

Note: you must use Google SSO to sign up or log in at least once in order to see the Google Classroom integration option.
