Computer Coding Games for Kids is the ideal guide for children ages 9-12 who want to learn more about computer programming using scratch. It can also be used by parents who want to help their children learn to code.

Follow the simple steps to become an expert coder, using the popular programming language Scratch™ 3.0. This updated edition is the first to be tablet-computer friendly, making it even easier to get coding.

With this coding book for kids, you can:

- Improve your coding skills and create your own games, before remixing and customizing them.
- Pick up the fundamentals of computer programming in steps that make even the most difficult coding concepts fun and easy to understand.
- Share your games online and challenge friends and family to beat each other's scores.

Fun games engage children and help teach them to learn code. Jumpy Monkey will show you how to simulate gravity in your games, or give Dog's Dinner a go to learn about collision detection. With this book, children won’t just learn how computer code works - they will understand why it's done that way. Once they have whizzed through the book, the possibilities are endless!
