CodeTrek
Check out the CodeTrek!
The CodeTrek is a CodeSpace tool that gives you:
- A starting point for your program
- Detailed information about lines of code you need to write
- Explanations of coding topics
- Holes (TODOs) for you to fill in on your own!
Hints
Don't forget to check the Hints!
CodeSpace provides helpful hints to guide students with extra help and to extend their understanding of complex concepts.
Toolbox
Your coding Toolbox!
As you work through each mission you will be adding concepts to your toolbox.
- It's an important reference you will need in later missions
- And when you are coding and debugging your own remixes.
Debugger
Debugger to the Rescue!
The CodeSpace debugger lets you step your program one line at a time, at your own speed, so you can understand exactly what the computer is doing and debug your code. Stepping is a very powerful tool for debugging your code. Be sure to use it whenever you need to understand more clearly what the code is doing.
