When learning to code, most people get stuck on the "bridge" between memorizing syntax and understanding the logic that makes it all work. We believe the most effective way to learn a programming language is to break the process into three phases:
Most beginners jump from memorizing syntax directly into making stuff (or trying) without fully understanding how syntax is used to solve problems. In other words, they haven't learned how to think like a programmer, yet they're trying to solve problems like a programmer.
Edabit was created to bridge this gap, while also making the process fun and addictive.

I've heard about Screeps which is close to what you describe: https://screeps.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
I have tried Screeps in the past, and I'm not a huge fan. I really like Stone Story, but they do not have an easy way to take your saves across multiple platforms -- you have to manually import/export your save. Source: 8 months ago
-For JavaScript, my advice would be to introduce coding games. That way it's more fun and the environment would be set up better (less worrying about deep technical errors). The two games that come to mind are Bitburner (free) and Screeps (free offline/paid online), though they both have their own learning curves and require actual coding; so for a 9 year old YMMV greatly.

A good, existing example I'd like to show you is Screeps: https://screeps.com/ Personally, when I'm in the mindset of playing that game, I can't help but come back to my bot every 30 minutes to see if it's performing well. When I see that it's doing something strange, I take notes and can't stop thinking about possible solutions. When I'm not in the mood to play (i.e. Analyze the bot or program more... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
I organised a small team to develop a screeps bot. Other teams made their own basic, but amusing game or explored interesting technologies. A few teams even worked on things related to the business. Source: 12 months ago

Live coding: I read the book "Head First JavaScript" up to chapter 6 or 8 and practiced on edabit.com for a month and that was enough for me to pass the live coding interview part. Source: 12 months ago
Edabit.com is a good site to practice coding challenges. Source: about 1 year ago
~3/4 months after starting as an Area Manager at Amazon I started to self-teach myself programming in JavaScript from the book "Head First JavaScript" and practicing via edabit.com. I spent ~1 month practicing and only got up to Chapter 7 or 8 in Head First javaScript. Source: about 1 year ago
