CodeForge

Write real code — a computer-science & programming game for ages 15–18. Reason through sequencing, conditionals, loops, functions, data structures, recursion, and algorithmic complexity by tracing state and building solutions. Deterministic, on-device.

On-device AI mentor

FoundationModels-powered hints, feedback, and adaptive difficulty — all running locally.

Mentored by Ekwe — on-device AI, no data leaves the device.

How CodeForge handles your kid's data

  • ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
  • ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
  • ✅ Free — no ads, no in-app purchases
  • ✅ No personal information collected from children — in line with COPPA (updated by the 2026 FTC amendments)
  • ✅ No chat with strangers — play-together rooms use a short code and preset emotes, never typed messages

Built with ForgeKit

CodeForge runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
