Code Wizard: Java Edition

DONT BUY, has bugs and zero support

I appreciate the effort but i cant recommend it as a learning tool. It throws a lot of text at you without a lot of good explanations. The background music is pretty grating after about 10 minutes and had to turn it off. I think its a good attempt at a product but its missing things that make it feel like a game instead of a glorified late 90s early 2000s educational software.

Finished the game on Medium difficulty, but essentially Hard because i didn't use any hint. The game doesn't actually teach you that much. It basically copies pastes concept definitions with an example and calls it a day. That being said, i still recommend the game because it helps a lot as a supplement to actual learning material. I was learning MOOC Java course and was able to solve all puzzles alone, it took some time but i was able to practice learned concepts. A decent pick up if on sale.

Nice little "learn coding Java"-game. As a person knowledgeable about Java that bought it for others, I can say: - it is only for beginners (even though there is an expert mode, there is nothing of interest here for experienced coders) - you cannot use any higher features like Streams or even Enum.valueOf to go alternative ways I cannot rate the quality of the explanation (didn't read). The graphics are really nasty. Don't look at the shadows 😣. It sometimes takes a bit until your Java is compiled. It's not very long. But apart from that, nice tasks and good didactic progress.
