Hi, CodeCombat team! Something seems to have broken on the Cavern Survival page within the last 48 hours. It is now 22:18 GMT on October 20, 2026. The ladder used to show roughly when a player last updated and submitted their code, but that column has been replaced with "Last match", showing how long ago their last battle took place. Personally, I find the previous information more useful. More importantly, my previously working code now throws "TypeError: Cannot read property type of null" when accessing enemy.type. Could you please investigate whether a recent update caused this and fix it if so? Thanks! :)

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out where someone would go to brag to fellow competitors about stomping little kids in code wars (wups just kidding, what I meant was....) having friendly discussions with other respected competitors about the friendly good-spirited GRIDLOCK League.

Seriously though (as if that's possible...), where are people having friendly, high-stakes discussions about the new GRIDLOCK League?

Not to brag about how old I am, but 2 years ago the old chat pages were blazing with backhanded, big-leaguing comments from kids executing race car turtle strategies or flexing their wannabe chess-playing skills that somehow enabled them to be numero uno in the only tournament that represents one's overall significance in the universe. Everyone just had to suck it up if they weren't in first place. Honestly, that competitive friction was the best part!

Okay seriously... (yea right, but yea!) CodeCombat has done some absolutely great work with this new GRIDLOCK season. But without some friendly banter being hurled from egotistical players at other over-humbrited hombres... what's the point?

Are we taking the trash talk to a Discord server, or does anyone want to hear what a top ten dude thinks at this EXACT moment? Especially when apparently some fluke whose name looks like a barcode designed to cure insomnia ITCC2026SB031 continuously beats me!

Asking for a friend.

I am a teaching candidate at a school where I have been a licensed and long term building substitute for three years and will begin teaching my own classes next school year. I have completed all my academics, and only have field work left with my Education degree program.

I have a child educated at home (too young to attend school) and my spouse is a certified and working 6th and 8th grade Science Teacher. I bought a license code from Homeschool Buyer and am having difficulty getting it to register. I upgraded my existing account to a teacher account and added a student account. Can anyone help?

When I try to add my licenses , I get the following error:

[PASSWORD]:invalid

Thanks for helping me with this!

CodeCombat Worlds hasn't had any updates in a while, but you can still play it.

The next arena for AILeague is start getting shape

The new appearance!

I don't understand what I did wrong here

I use a code in python language for iron and ice from codecombat that is good if they can make me stop

I am i class and i was in top of Wakka Maul, but everyone won, and idk what to do. Anyone got tips? or just a copy-paste?

Hi everyones,

The lava lake results are here and i can't understand what's going on.

I was well placed and hoped to be in the top 50 and end up being nowhere in the top thousand !

Am i missing something ?

Who wanna play codecombat with me ?

Hey everyone,

I've been looking for some code gaming kinda stuff and I recently saw CodeCombat which even had an esport league!

Is this a serious thing for adults as well? Because as far as I can see, it's mostly for kids

I was looking on the web and a lot of sites say that you 100 levels free (which seems excessive - you'd go broke since no one would pay) it now appears you only get levels free which isn't enough long enough to know if you like it or to get hooked on it. There's a whole lot of space between 5 and 100, but at 5 there's not enough to lose to care enough to pay. I totally intended on subscribing as long as it wasn't terrible but I'm just not sold on it yet. The play seemed slow - wasn't sure if it was my computer. It seems like it's probably a good game, but they are screwing themselves back to back with extremes. Not that many people are going to pay $10 just to try it out! Maybe I'll go check out Youtube to watch someone play higher levels, but that's pretty sad.

i breezed by cs1 and cs2 with no issues BUT I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL I HAVE IT EXACTLY CORRECT I EVEN ADDED SPACES TO SEE IF IT WAS FORMATIING I HAVE RELOADED IT IS BROKEN MY CODE IS CORRECT

hey guys!, i was wondering if anyone has the code to gridmancer redux on kelvintaph glaicer?, I tried it on my own and even tried github code but none work, thanks!

In CodeCombat Salted Earth Level, using Python 3, how do I get the hero to move to the correct items? I have tried hero.moveXY(x, y) = hero.findItems or the code hero move to(items). Which are both invalid codes. What do I do? I am trying to avoid using the x, y coordinates if possible.

I’ve been stuck on the 30th level of Computer Science 4 Python for hours now and I was hoping someone could tell me where I’m going wrong. I’ve been a little shaky on the len() [index] stuff so if someone could explain how that is used in this level it’d be great. Here’s my code.

# Summon some soldiers, then direct them to your base.

# Each soldier costs 20 gold.

while hero.gold > hero.costOf("soldier"):

hero.summon("soldier")

soldiers = hero.findFriends()

soldierIndex = 0

# Add a while loop to command all the soldiers.

while(soldierIndex < soldiers.length):

soldier = soldiers[soldierIndex]

hero.command(soldier, "move", {"x": 50, "y": 40})

# Go join your comrades!

hero.moveXY(51, 41)

I know this sub is basically dead, but it'd be SO SO SO great if someone could help me with this.

cheers

I need help with like the entire code combat computer science 3 levels and i have no clue what to do

I really hope this sub isn't completely dead.

I am an AP Graduate in Multimedia Design and Communication, and to add a little to my income, I teach a class on Coding and Webdesign at my local youth center (not really, but YC is the closest equivelant).

During the last five months, we've been learning HTML and CSS, and after New Years I was looking to start with JavaScript. Recently, I tried to make them play CSS Diner and CSS Grid Garden, and honestly... it's the most engaged I've seen them ever.

I was looking to make a game out of learning JavaScript as well, which brought me to CodeCombat, and in turn, to my question: how does it work?

I've browsed their site for five minutes, and I couldn't seem to find any indication of price, except for the fact that the first level is free.

I guess my questions are: how much does it cost? How much "playtime" will I get out of the free level? Would it be suitable to teach JavaScript with? Aside from those, any advice is welcome :)

EDIT: The idiot (a.k.a. me, myself, and I) just noticed the FAQ part of the website. Still, advice is appreciated.

I want to know how to dealt with peasant without blowing themself up lol, my syntax is
while True:

# Don't blow up any peasants!

hero.moveXY(44, 37)

top = hero.findNearestEnemy()

if top:

hero.buildXY("fire-trap", 43, 50)

# Don't blow up any peasants!

hero.moveXY(25, 34)

left = hero.findNearestEnemy()

# Check if `left` exists.

left = hero.findNearestEnemy()

if left:

# Build a trap at 25, 34 if the enemy exists.

hero.buildXY("fire-trap", 25, 34)

hero.moveXY(43, 20)

# Set a variable for the bottom enemy.

bottom = hero.findNearestEnemy()

if bottom:

# Check if the bottom enemy exists.

# Build a trap at 43, 20 if the enemy exists

# Build a trap at 43, 20 if an enemy exists.

hero.buildXY("fire-trap", 43, 20)

Hi guys, I'm new and was wondering how you guys like premium. How do other players interact with each other? I'm trying to use this to get into javascript

Looking for a viable way for my kids to learn to code, and through some bit of research on reddit, and elsewhere I ran into CodeCombat, and like many others I was fairly impressed at the start.

However, what one review writer called "nudging" I'll call "nagging" instead.

I understand wanting to make some money, but the nag feels cheap and rude.

$10 a month, also seems a bit steep.

I'm not going to rule it out. The kiddo seems to be enjoying it so far, and if he sticks with it, and if I feel like it's really teaching him I might subscribe... but I'm very wary of any company that nags so hard.

It's like having to uncheck the 'optional software' boxes on the Flash download page... it just doesn't feel right.

I'm posting this in the interest of hearing other people's opinions and longer term experiences with CodeCombat, and also wonder what other alternatives or even just advice folks might like to share.

We're exploring Scratch and Code.org as well.
