CodeQuest: DemoV1.0

CodeQuest: DemoV1.0  is a compact puzzle adventure where you play as a little data avatar moving through a digital world of logic.

Each level is built around a real computer science concept, but presented as a simple, readable game mechanic:

• Boot Level 0 – Just move, collect shards, and reach the exit. No tricks, just vibes.

• Binary World – Flip glowing switches to match a target number using 0s and 1s.

• Loops World – Time your movement to meet a bot on a specific tile as it walks in a loop.

• Memory Maze – Survive on tiles that fade and crumble the more you step on them.

• Conditions World – Toggle runes (1, 2, 3) to open AND/OR logic doors.

• Functions World – Step into a function portal, solve a sub-room, and “return.”

• Arrays World – Step on colored tiles in a specific order like walking through a list.

• Variables World – Store values, assign A, and open a gate that only accepts the right value.

The game never calls it a “lesson,” but by the end of V1.0 you’ve played through:

• Binary

• Loops

• Memory / state

• Conditions (AND / OR)

• Functions (call / return)

• Arrays / lists

• Variables

All of that ,  just by moving a tiny glowing avatar across the grid.

Core Features
