How it works: write the code in each step, and the canvas on the right shows what your code does. It is a live preview that builds the game as you go, so you can play every step along the way. Type to see it update, or press Apply to Canvas to test it straight away.

Lumo says: every step adds one feature to the same game. Type a little, click Apply to Canvas, and play it straight away. There is no wrong answer you can't undo.

Build Night Watch Step by Step

Each step adds one feature. Write the code, watch it come alive in the canvas, then make it your own.
