I was talking to my kids' primary school about teaching them
programming, and one of the systems they are planning to use is Code
Combat.�� It "teaches" programming by posing puzzles in an arcade
adventure game setting.�� Both(only) Python and Javascript are catered
for, but I notice its MIT licensed and *more importantly, that the
media are CC licensed [1].�� So, not immediately because I have a few
things to get off my plate, but I thought I'd just survey who might be
interested in collaborating on Code Combat Pharo - at least to the
degree to determine how big the job would be.

If you want to take a peek to hazard an opinion, you can create login
here [2] to get free access to the basic levels.�� ��I found some
instructions to install it locally to avoid paying to check out the
other levels (but atm I've hit a snag with the last `npm start` step),
and maybe take a peek inside data.tar.gz - as I understand it we have
a MongoDB driver around somewhere.

Open to your thoughts...
