Code Hero Army enlistees to be issued Mecha!

Update #15 · Mar 6, 2012 · 6 comments

Code Hero is part of a whole community of indie game developers that collaborate at Noisebridge.net hackerspace, and our good friend Nick Shapiro's game Mecha Galaxy has launched their Kickstarter on Facebook! 

As a giant mecha geek who played BattleTech tabletop, painted miniatures, and still listens to the MechWarrior 2 soundtrack, I would be remiss in my duties to the Code Hero Army if I did not issue all enlisted personnel a squadron of personal fighting Mecha!

Back MechaGalaxy's kickstarter to receive your beta code, join the Mecha Galaxy Army on Facebook, enlist in the "Code Hero Army" faction within the game. 

Load up your custom mecha forces to get some glory in the name of spreading code literacy throughout the Galaxy! Our mission is to liberate the people of the Illyrian Hegemony, a tyrannical aristocracy that oppresses its common citizens by censoring their Internets to prevent them from learning to code! Together, we shall set minds free!

      Ignore my previous comment, if we can get alpha access to a non-facebook version I'll pay.

      I was totally going to toss in a couple bucks for the beta until I realized it was a facebook game. NOPE. Sorry Nick, but I just can't. All that wall spam from the other games... If there was a non-facebook client I would happily pay, the game looks pretty neat other than the platform it's on.

      It will be on the open web and other platforms too soon.

    1 K12 Code Hero School: Give your children more than a game: Give them programming peers that will engage and inspire each other. A parent, teacher, student, administrator or entrepreneurial youth can pledge to give a school of their choosing a special school-wide Code Hero access. All their students will receive school accounts for Code Hero. Teachers will be trained by the Code Hero team to be able to mentor students who can mentor each other. Code Hero School will feature advanced metrics and collaborative gameplay that will allow teachers to integrate it into making projects for every subject and class in the school. Art classes can produce game art for history projects that become simulated historical worlds with math class showing how engineering created disruptive new industries that economics class analyzes for modern parallels [HINT HINT]. Check out http://www.HackTheFuture.org and http://www.primerlabs.com/unityversity to see how we teach large groups of kids already to make and present games on their first day. NOTE: PETITIONERS WELCOME. You can pledge at this level to petition your school to try it: Call them, ask them if they will accept it on behalf of all their students. This doesn't require a school approval process or a strategy session: It just opens the door for a new kind of education through games that kids actually want and enjoy! UNCONDITIONAL GIVING: If you can't get a school to accept, you can give it directly to the students of the school to form a Code Club to provide the power of one good example: a school where every student can code fluently and create games as group projects as easily as presentation posterboards and science fair exhibits. Every state needs at least one representative that will take up this challenge to show there is no state that is not ready to become an economic powerhouse, that there is no district that can't emulate Silicon Valley, and that there is no school that can't become a flourishing entrepreneurial hotbed of student-created startups!
