Welcome to Lambda Spellcrafting Academy! Follow along with Professor Whiskers as you learn to combine your magic cards to create your own spells(programs). Each card features a unique ability, or represents some real world object. Arrange your cards to construct elaborate spells to solve magic themed puzzles. Shrink objects, make them float, open locks, and more!

Learn real programming with this game. The system used focuses on core programming concepts. After playing through the game, you will be ready to apply your new problem solving ability to nearly any programming language you wish to use outside of the game.

Programming should be fun and with this game, you can see the results of your spells immediately, with a checklist that updates as you change your spell. Want to take a closer look? Cast your spells and watch the magic rules play out, so you can detect issues and also develop a better understanding of how things work.

No need to memorize anything! Some programming tools require you to memorize a bunch of syntax rules as well as a long list of special words. At Lambda Spellcrafting Academy, you build your spells/programs by arranging your hand of magic cards. Everything you need is in front of you, you just need to figure out how to put them together.
