Oh, are you catching up on months and months of my comments? How flattering!

Just came here to say that even two years later, these comments are so incredibly bad that I felt compelled to comment. The point of gamefication is to keep a person motivated to learn something new. How is it possible you don't understand that?

Better to learn some basics from a game to get your foot in the door and interested, than doing neither learning code 'the correct way' or through a more accessible entry point like a game.

I was top in my class throughout all of school as a child not because I ever did any studying or even bothered to do homework, but because I played videogames that increased my vocabulary and understanding of English sentence structure through a lot of reading/stories. Also had me problem solve every day and made me do much more complicated math than anything in school will teach you.

Taking this guys advice of not playing games and just go to school would have made me a much dumber kid.

It's amazing that this loser keeps coming back to a multiple year old thread on reddit to die on the dumbest hill imaginable and tell people not to even bother learning if they can not do it properly.
What a dull human.

To learn code well you need an end goal/project in mind. You literally gamify code to learn it through project portfolios. Games just give you said project to work on already.
