Can you learn to code at home today?

Get started with coding games at home today.

Back in the 1980’s, young people were coding up a storm from their bedrooms – from video games to software packages. Does that mean the boom is over? No!

You can begin coding games at home today, using free software and free guides. You don’t need a top-tier PC to get started; any Windows  (10+) or MacOS (Monterey+) laptop or computer with at least 4GB of RAM will suffice.

Starting younger? You can have a lot of fun creating simple games and stories with Scratch.
