SuperCodingBall is a free educational game, which aims to introduce programming, through the theme of football!
The player will train a team of 4 footballers (the humans) who will face 4 monsters.
The team's strategy is made with blocks (Scratch-like), then the game takes place automatically following the strategies of the two opponents.
SuperCodingBall can be played on a mobile device or a computer (in this case, the blocks are displayed next to the football field).
On an Android or iOS device, one can install the application as PWA (it allows to play even without connection).
There are two game modes:
- local play, against the computer (with some pre-defined strategies)
- online play, against other players (requires internet connection)
For online play, SuperCodingBall uses the Webcom service to store player information. This is a service reserved for Orange developers, but it can be easily replaced by any other "Backend As a Service" (like Firebase).
There are 3 options to connect:
- As a guest (does not allow using multiple devices)
- With a Facebook account
- With a Google account
In all cases, SuperCodingBall will store the (modifiable) nickname, the blocks and the results of the games played.
At any time, players can delete their account.
SuperCodingBall uses Google's excellent Blockly library to manage interactions with blocks.
To generate the personalized blocks, you can use the Blockly Developer Tools, the source of the blocks being stored here.
Once the blocks.json file has been generated, it must be modified to add styles and translations.
All player sprites come from the "Open Game Art Liberated Pixel Cup" and were generated by this tool:
