When choosing your character, you would be able to choose what type of programming language you want to learn. They have JavaScript, CoffeeScript and Python.

Once you are settled, time to enter the world of CodeCombat! The first area that you will enter is “Kithgard Dungeon”.The dungeon has many different levels, later on you have to get out of the dungeon by solving programming problems. Not only escaping, you will also have to help your character to get diamonds and/or avoid foes in the dungeon. 

Your character would be able to move, run, attack, or dodge with the correct command that you give to them through the programming language that you choose. When the correct command is entered then you have helped your character. Be aware that wrong code on your side will have some bad consequences on your characters, so pay attention!

During the game, there are many hints that can help you pass the level. Everytime you pass a level, you will get rewarded and the reward can help in advancing your character with weapons, accessories and defences!
