Interactive 'Code-to-Game' Micro-Learning Platform

An online learning platform that cures 'tutorial hell' by teaching programming strictly through micro-game creation (e.g., Pong, Flappy Bird). It bridges the gap between visual logic and raw code, forcing active problem solving rather than passive video watching.

Differentiation

Our angle

There is a massive gap between generic project management tools (Trello) and raw game engines (Unity/Godot). Beginners need a bridge tool that automatically decomposes high-level game ideas into engine-specific, bite-sized technical tasks.

“Game dev is like the hardest and most complex form of art”
“gamedev merges multiple disciplines, and they're not trivial”
“takes 50-90% of game development time and resources”
“i have been watching and rewatching a lot of videos, reading documents, etc. and im getting nowhere.”
“Do NOT get stuck in tutorial hell.”
