New Code Block Game

It's been a long time since I shared my work, but I'm really pumped up about the potential of the new Code Block in Rise.

I started with a basic idea and then started vibe coding. It's amazing what can be achieved in a short space of time, and have been resisting the temptation to just have fun, and instead focussed on keeping my work learning focussed.

A couple of learnings:

  • The power of the code block will be really unlocked if Articulate can...
    1. Allow us to upload zip folders with images in them. Everything says you can, but I have yet to have a single successful upload.
    2. Provide code/facility to allow a code that can report course completion based on the code i.e. when a game is completed completion can be sent - even better if scores can be included.
    3. When course continuation can be linked to code block completion it enables true gamification.
  • Not being able to include images is a limitation, but not a blocker - you will notice I have included some very rudimentary graphics by encoding the images as base64, however it seems Rise has a limitation of not being able to read base64 strings longer than 500 characters at present. As I suspect will be the case for many others, I, work for a company with very stringent security policies, so we aren't allowed file storage solutions. If there can be a basic image storage allowance for zip code blocks, that changes the game!

 

Would love your feedback you wonderful humans.

  • This is really cool. How does it work with adjustments and vibe coding? Can the content be adjusted easily?

  • Hi GrahamBetts-add​, I'm so glad you decided to share! 

    I love how you’ve used it to build something playful but still learning-focused. You’ve also raised some really thoughtful points that are super valuable for our product teams.

    As Kyle mentioned, you should make sure you join the Code Block Group, if you haven't already!
