Change the code, change the game
Real games from the lessons. Pick one, press Play, then change a number in the code and see what it does.
Touching the lava sets the player's Health to 0. Change that 0 on line 6 to 50, press Play, and the lava only hurts.
local lava = script.Parent
lava.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
humanoid.Health = 0
end
end)

Frequently asked questions about learning game development
Can I learn game development with no coding experience?
Yes. The Roblox, Godot and pygame courses teach their language inside a game, one idea at a time, and the Unity path starts with the C# basics in a 3D scene. You write code from the first lesson and see what it does in the game straight away.
Which game engine should I start with?
Start with the games you want to make. Roblox is for obbies, tycoons and survival games, scripted in Luau. Unity is for 3D games in C#, the engine many studios use. Godot is free and open source, made for 2D as much as 3D, and its GDScript reads a lot like Python. pygame makes 2D games in plain Python, a good fit if you already know Python or want to learn it.
Do I need to install a game engine?
No. Every lesson runs in your browser beside the editor. Godot lessons run the real Godot engine and pygame lessons the real pygame-ce. Roblox and Unity lessons run on Coddy's own engines, which copy the part of each one's API the lessons teach. To publish a game of your own later, you use the engine's free editor on your computer, and your code carries over.
What is the Arcade?
The Arcade is where you play games made with code, right in your browser: Disaster Survival, Tower Defense, Brick Breaker, Snake and more. Each game links to the course that teaches how it was built, and Remix copies a game into your own projects so you can change its code.
Is learning game development on Coddy free?
Yes. The lessons, the games, the AI hints and the certificates are free. A free account works through a few lessons a day, and Pro removes the daily limit.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Every section and every project course gives you a free certificate of completion, and finishing a whole learning path earns a path certificate. Each one has its own page you can share or add to LinkedIn.
