Introducing all new ways to code and play in codeSpark Academy's biggest release yet!
COME SEEKING ADVENTURE
Your kid coders can now create their own epic quests with the massive new Adventure Game mode: a powerful new set of design tools for kids to create their own open-ended role-playing games.
Inspired by classic hit games, kids will now be able to code their own games to include custom-built missions and story-based interactions for other kid coders.
This new creative mode makes testing and playing games even easier for a wider range of kids by requiring less hand-eye coordination than other creative modes.
With this new mode, kid coders will discover more ways to apply their coding skills, continue building computational thinking skills, and expressing their creativity through code.
Featuring:
* New Items to Code
* New Worlds to Explore
* New Enemies to Battle
...and more!
THEY'RE THE STAR
Kid coders can now create a unique Foo that represents them using any of the thousands of combinations of colors, outfits, and items, including new and diverse hairstyles. Foos created for each child profile are now the stars of their games and stories.
Kids can tap on another creator's profile image to open up that creator's portfolio, allowing them to enjoy all the games and stories of their favorite creators, or, with parental permission, they can share their own portfolio!
SEE THE WORLD
Kid coders can now set their stories anywhere with photo backgrounds! Will they send Naomi to the Museum of Natural History? Or Gracie to feudal Japan? Or maybe their own Foo to the canals in Venice? The possibilities are endless!
As always, photos used in stories must be reviewed by our moderation team. Parental permission required for publishing.
HORSING AROUND
Remy the MonkeyFoo has long taught kid coders the basics of game creation, and now, Remy and all the other Petfoos can go on their own quests as playable characters in both platformer games and adventure games.
THE PARTY NEVER STOPS
Splash Clash now has party codes! With parental permission, your child can send a code to a friend, enabling them to play against people they know.
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
Introducing new emoji to use as reactions to games and stories, including voting options for polls.
A LITTLE BIT LOUDER NOW (A LITTLE BIT SOFTER NOW)
New volume controls allow finer control of music and sound effects for the preferred aural experience.
BE A COMPLETIONIST
Badges now unlock special Create-A-Foo items, allowing even more customization.
MORE WAYS TO LEARN
Teachers have new features in the teacher dashboard, including curriculum and student passwords.
UNDER THE HOOD
Also included: support for the M1 Macs, bug fixes, and even more optimizations for better gameplay on older devices.
