About this game

Robot Programming Game on your Android!

⭐ Programmable Robot with many Upgrade Parts
⭐ Real JavaScript Runner Engine
⭐ Programming Challenges (Missions and Story)
⭐ Smart Code Completion
⭐ Practice Coding and Logical Thinking

Sharpen your programming skills by playing a real coding game! In Code Miner, you will be an engineer who have to program a mining robot for various, challenging tasks. Given you know the basics of programming and JavaScript…

JavaScript?
Yes, JavaScript is an industry standard scripting language, which is easy to learn, and one of the most widely used software development languages on the planet! If you are new to it, you can further your career by learning JavaScript while playing. You can practice on the go, and learn by having fun.

How to Start?
Using this app is a great way to learn programming and JavaScript, but it is not entirely about teaching. More about learning while doing by using JavaScript to program your vehicle. If you know the basics (e.g. what is a variable, function, loop), you'll be fine! :)

Features
✅ Programmable Robot - Be the programmer, and control your mining robot!
✅ Upgrade Parts - Real science behind upgrade parts: Use seismic imaging, temperature sensors, and much more!
✅ Embedded JavaScript Engine - Run your code fast and securely with the sandbox compiler!
✅ Developer Friendly Code Editor - Scripting made easy with smart indenting, comment/uncomment line, syntax highlighting, brace matching, etc.
✅ Smart Code Completion - Type less with the keyboard by using code completion.
✅ Symbol Keyboard Extension - Additional symbol buttons to extend your keyboard with frequently used symbols in any algorithm.
✅ Project-based Code Organization - Simple code organization for your huge algorithm in a virtual folder tree called a Project. Easy management of scripts.
✅ No Harmful Permissions - The app only needs the basic permissions to serve you a code runner environment.

Ratings and reviews

I believe I ran into a single bug. Copper can be embedded in two materials but they both show the same hardness. This was pretty aggravating because I had to program against position instead of something my robots sensors could detect. My drill couldn't break it. That made the 2000 point goal the hardest to reach in the game. The heat sensor proved all but useless to me. The imaging was only good for avoiding falls when moving forward - so beyond the initial equip the upgrades were not needed.

Was a lot of fun for the tutorial part. Game probably isn't for absolute beginners of programming, I think. Also I'd pay a flat fee for the full game, but not a big fan of subscriptions unless it's an MMO 😅. Also, i'd love to get in contact with the dev (if you see this, email me!!) because I have been wanting to get into game development for a very long time (I'm a web developer) and would love to get some first person action on how he accomplished something like this. So cool.

Sadly not worthwhile. The start is free. After that it's a subscription if you want to advance in any way. The content hasn't changed or improved in a way that would justify a subscription. If it has changed at all, it's invisible. What's there is barely there. It points to a site and says 'learn from here' so it isn't teaching. It is intentionally tedious so it isn't really good as just a game either. Programming games are rare, so it's really sad this one is such a mediocre cash-grab.
