Thanks for the upvotes and comments guys (and kelsey for posting!). Here's a $5 discount discount code for all of you: "producthunt". Happy to answer any questions you may have.
@jakecrump I attended Makers Academy (a coding bootcamp) and saw the opportunity there was for a game like this. There was a 10x acceleration in learning when you got people together to just talk about coding concepts around a table for 15 minutes. If you can create that excuse and wrap it around an education game that can be fun, I thought that would be pretty powerful. On the other hand looking at a screen for 10 hours a day also made me want a nice deck of flash cards I could use alone :)
Note, you still have to work really hard, alone, with your computer for days to get anywhere decent. And code cards won’t help you at all if you don’t do that. But it’s a nice compliment to traditional learning paths.
@carlosxcl UPDATE:
The final limited run of our original Code Cards was all sold out on March 2016. You can now print & distribute them for free under a creative commons license.

Damn it! I live in Aus so I miss out! These look cool, would make a great gift. Would you turn this into a web/ios app in the future? @carlosxcl
@yougeekybastard It's definitely crossed our minds, so maybe sometime in the near future. But no worries, we do plan on releasing a free print & play version soon, so you can print them yourself over there.
Awesome concept, just upvoted! We did a @kickstarter funded and shipped card game version for kids to teach them core concepts (logic, sequence, debugging and experimentation) that is Simon Says meets Twister... crazy fun. Definitely agree with idea of going offline to teach online - breaks the monotony and makes it more accessible in the beginning where the learning is hard, and the results are less obvious. We were featured on Product hunt games last week https://www.producthunt.com/game...
@guymazzeo Hi Guy, strange it gave you a download. I'll check what's going on. I've just sent your order to shipwire, they usually take a day or two to process and ship. You'll get a tracking number once it does.

This is so awesome! Proving to people that they can learn to program is so crucial, and I think this a is great way to get started.
@triplejberger Thanks! Only US and Canada for now. International shipping is too expensive without distributors around the world. I am thinking of releasing a free print & play version sometime in the near future as a workaround to this - plus I know a lot of schools that would benefit from it.
