Code Hero Wins Innovation Award @ SF Beta

Code Hero won the Innovation Award at the SF Beta Startup Mixer for Mobile Games on November 8th as attendees flocked to see the latest Code Hero demo. Here's the announcement:

Innovation Award winner: Code Hero

Complimenting our People’s Choice Award, we’re pleased to announce the newly formed Innovation Award, bestowed upon SF Beta startups that grace our event with game-changing, revolutionary, category-creating concepts.

Code Hero is edutainment (remember that?) at its finest — a game that teaches you how to make games with a code ray that copies, edits and shoots Javascript in Unity3D. I’m pretty sure I met Alex Peake, the company’s founder, at a flash mob in the Mission district several years ago, proving that San Francisco really is the smallest town in the world.

Our booth was packed with people getting their hands on Code Hero for the first time:

Audiences were captivated by Code Hero's approach towards learning programming in 3D as many non-programmers saw for the first time a way they could break into coding and actually enjoy learning Javascript and Unityscript. 

Experienced programmers got a laugh from seeing how the classic FizzBuzz job interview question is transformed into a horde of 100 angry FizzBots in Code Hero's FizzBoss challenge to combine Javascript algorithms and Unity game code.
