❓ Space Code Explorer FAQ

How do you play Space Code Explorer?

Study the ship direction, crystals, obstacles, and star gate, then arrange Move, Turn Left, Turn Right, and Repeat blocks. Collect every crystal and reach the gate to complete the mission.

How many levels are in this kids coding game?

There are 12 progressively harder missions covering straight paths, obstacle turns, stair routes, loops, and multi-turn programs. Completing a mission unlocks the next one.

What do map labels such as A1 and B2 mean?

Letters identify rows and numbers identify columns. The labels and stronger cell borders make it easier to count how many squares the ship must move before each turn.

What does the Repeat Last Command block do?

It runs the previous executable command one more time. For example, Move followed by Repeat moves the ship two squares. Repeat cannot be the first block because there is no earlier command.

Does the game save progress and best scores?

Yes. Unlocked levels and the best step and time result for each mission are stored in the current browser. Clearing site data or changing devices may remove local records.

Can I create or accept a coding challenge without signing in?

Yes. After completing a level, select Invite Challenge to create an anonymous link. Another player can accept it without an account, while eligible signed-in challenge records appear on the profile page.
