I built a text-based game to teach JS/HTML, because I’m tired of boring video lectures.

Innovative Approach to Learning JavaScript and HTML: A Text-Based Interactive Game

In the world of web development education, traditional methods such as video tutorials and multiple-choice assessments often leave learners feeling disengaged. Recognizing this challenge, I embarked on creating a more dynamic and immersive learning experience โ€” a text-based game designed to teach fundamental JavaScript and HTML concepts.

Why I Developed This Project

After spending extensive hours sifting through tutorials and quizzes, I realized that the passive nature of these methods could hinder true understanding, especially with complex topics like loops, DOM manipulation, and CSS selectors. I believed there had to be a better way to make learning interactive and enjoyable.

Introducing microlearn.me

To address this, I launched microlearn.me, an educational platform that uses narrative-driven simulations to teach technical skills. Instead of simply watching a tutorial, learners actively participate in scenarios that mimic real-world tasks. For example, instead of reading about JavaScript loops, you might find yourself piloting a drone on a mission to scan for anomalies. To succeed, you’ll need to write an actual for loop to process the droneโ€™s sensor array, turning abstract coding concepts into tangible actions.

Experience It Yourself

This method aims to make coding education more engaging, practical, and ultimately more effective. If you’re tired of passive learning and want to experience a fresh way to master web development skills, give it a try!
