Code Gamers Developement

Sad to say, this mom needed to listen to this audiobook to understand what my kids have been trying to explain to me about coding. What's funny is they can understand this, but not the math class. the author did a great job explaining variables and objects as loops. I love chapter 9 when they go into explaining how to build an adventure. The accompanying PDF will be helpful when I go over this again with the kids. I just got cool mom credits.
