• How helpful is leetcode at competitive programming?

  Leetcode is good to learn basic algorithms because problem statements are usually straightforward. Competitive programming has much wider range of problems. Most popular sites for cp are codeforces.com , atcoder.jp, codechef.com . Source: 7 months ago

• Role of Algorithms

  The de facto standard community for competitive programmers, regular contests with editorials, huge archive of problems (https://codeforces.com/problemset) with pretty accurate difficulty ratings so you can focus on problems of suitable difficulty if you want to progress quickly. They also have an incipient EDU section: https://codeforces.com/edu/courses that covers basic algorithms with practice problems. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Those games I made were a part of the Game Development 1 and 2 courses (there is also a 3rd course) on CodeCombat. You code the games entirely on your own from scratch by the use of the knowledge you have gathered from the lessons in the... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• What can I do?

  So now, while you have time (yes you have no time now but when you are out of school working with a child and or no summer vacation you will have less time) you can try MIT Scratch or CodeCombat and learn to code. For you it's a long the goal is to make 1 app or a handful of apps in 4 years until you graduate. That's absolutely doable even for someone who knows 0 about coding. Then when you graduate, if you are... Source: 6 months ago
