ScriptQuest
Read a tiny program, guess what it will do, then run it and watch the hero walk (ages 9–14). When it breaks, Semi the ant asks a question and you pick the fix. A one-tap Blocks↔Text switch shows the same script both ways — the bridge from block coding to real text code. Deterministic and on-device; nothing leaves your device.
#0f766e Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
ScriptQuest has a small crew who each embody one piece of a program (their illustrated storybooks are on the way): Semi the ant asks a question when the hero can’t reach the flag, Loop the beetle is the `every 1 tick` that repeats a step, Tapper is the `when touch` event that fires the moment the hero lands on a thing, Remma is the variable that remembers keys and coins, and Iffy is the `if … then` that only opens the door once the keys are really there.

(Guide) the ant who turns a broken run into a question that points at the bug

Learning goal
Read a tiny program, guess what it will do, then run it and watch the hero walk (ages 9–14). When it breaks, Semi the ant asks a question and you pick the fix. A one-tap Blocks↔Text switch shows the same script both ways — the bridge from block coding to real text code. Deterministic and on-device; nothing leaves your device.
