Congrats, it is a very nice initiative and a novel idea. I am trying to get back into coding, I do have experience with MATLAB programming (and also VB6 some 10 yrs back), but this website makes it so much easier. I would like to see some UI changes as you progress through your Y Combinator phase, the coding editor sometimes disappears for me, and I don't know how to get it back and have to restart the level and sometimes browser. I am sure the idea will be polished a whole mile now. Also, habit of using keyboard shortcuts sometimes prolongs the coding process. I used Ctrl+S too much, before refraining myself to not use any shortcuts. I like your website and concept very much. Great idea, may you go places. Edit: What languages will I be able to learn through this? |

When you say the code editor disappears, do you mean the entire right pane of the player screen? Could you send me a screenshot and any steps to reproduce it at george@codecombat.com? Would love to get that fixed for you.
What browser are you using by the way? Although it's technically capable of running on FF, we had a lot of problems on FF and basically told people to just use Chrome after a while. We need to get it working properly on FF, but that's the simplest solution for now.
Yes: polish is definitely coming up! I agree with you that the whole "switch between mouse and keyboard" thing is bogus, we need a more complete keyboard shortcut list.
The languages we are most interested in teaching are Javascript, Python, and Ruby in that order, but it will be a little while before it's ready for those new languages to be added. In the interim we're just going to be building out content for the JS campaign.
