MakeQuest is a fun and engaging learning tool that walks students through the basics of reading and writing JavaScript code while playing through the levels of a simple platformer game. Students remix game code in order to defeat the evil villain “404” and can see the effects of their changes in the coding environment reflected immediately in the game. MakeQuest opens and runs within Zulama, requiring no external software or licensing. This tool can run on its own or can be worked into lessons as part of a number of preorganized assignment bundles.
Assign pre-built Bundles that include MakeQuest activities from the Essentials of Coding and Game Inventor courses.
Assign time in MakeQuest as an additional exploration in coding and game design courses.
Utilize MakeQuest during your Hour of Code activities as part of Computer Science Education Week.
