mikejuk writes "Educational game Code Hero has succeed in the initial crucial challenge — that of raising sufficient funds to secure its own future.
Last Friday the project was less than a third of the way to its target of $100,000. Within five days the amount pledged had doubled and in a sudden burst of interest as developer sites spread the word the target has been met.
While the game now has two backers who have pledged $10,000 to qualify for becoming a Code Hero character in a custom designed challenge within the game, three quarters of the pledges are for the entry-level pledges of $1 (beta access and a saving on the full game release) and $13.37 (beta access, the full game and exclusive access to the mysterious in-game 1337),
There is also a reward, for pledging $1776, that would provide a K12 Code Hero School License for every student in every school of a state. The is Senator Hero and is for senators and congressmen.
Given the urgent need to get computer programming into schools, in order to provide the pool of trained and motivated students needed to fill the jobs of the future, this seems like an excellent opportunity — but so far not one backer has opted for it.
Code Hero has met its funding target but time is running out to become a Senator Hero."
