There are several resources on the Internet that can help you navigate the world of code languages, be it courses, applications or tools. But, sometimes, the motivation starts to fail and many apprentices are discouraged and end up giving up. Learning to program does not have to be boring and TwilioQuest wants to put his skills to the test in a 90s RPG style game.
The game was developed by the team of programmers at Twilio, a communication platform in the Cloud. Originally, TwilioQuest was used to help young developers of the North American company to learn how to work with the APIs of the online service, but it ended up becoming a game available to the general public.
In TwilioQuest we are taken to The Cloud, a parallel universe where the ability to program rules the virtual worlds that exist there. The power of the code is so great that it sparked the attention of an evil organization, known as Legacy Systems, which plans to dominate the inhabitants of The Cloud.
Thus, the TwilioQuest program was created in secret to train a group of leaders, called Operators, to fight against enemies. As an Operator, the user will have to learn to use the power of code languages ​​for good and save the universe.
Players will have to advance through several levels, venturing through missions in a kind of high-tech dungeons and performing exercises, or Hacks, in languages ​​like Java or Python to complete objectives. To make missions even more interesting, there are bonuses at the end of each level, including new places to explore and improved equipment such as shields and armor.
Through the TwilioQuest website, users will be able to download the free game that is available for Windows, MacOS and Linux. In addition, on the website you can find more information about the various missions of the game, as well as its entire retro-inspired soundtrack.
