Re: a jump on the road of code - code jumper released

Re: a jump on the road of code - code jumper released I actually got a chance to beta test this thing, so here are my thoughts.1. Price. This is not worth anywhere over 900 dollars in my opinion. Sure, it's good for teaching the basics of programming, but really shouldn't be priced

Re: a jump on the road of code - code jumper released Hi. So, I had a look at this. It sounds nice. In my honest opinion, this sounds like a musical toy. If it is only supposed to teach concepts of coding, why does it only deal with music? I mean, it seems to be more like a puzzle than
