First blocks
Sequencing with wordless picture blocks, counting steps, and a first loop.

and learn tower by tower.
A child arranges the blocks in order, presses Run, and the hero sets off. Kodla Zıpla starts with picture blocks in kindergarten, then climbs tower by tower through loops, conditions, and data, all the way to Python.
Why Kodla ZıplaTry it first, then shorten it,
Try it first, then shorten it,
then build your own.
From picture blocks to Python
Wordless picture blocks in kindergarten, blocks with words in elementary school, pseudocode and Python in middle school. The same heroes, the same towers.
Mistakes are clues
When a program breaks, the game says what happened: "Lale bumped into the wall." The child looks at the block, fixes it, and tries again.
Look for the shortest path
Three stars: finish the task, finish it on the first try without looking at the solution, and write the shortest program.
No reading needed to start
In the kindergarten tower, the blocks are wordless pictures; children build a program by tapping. Audio narration for the tasks is being prepared.

About the gameEvery tower a concept,
Every tower a concept,
every floor a step.
The tower path unlocks grade by grade. On each tower's floors, children work on sequencing, loops, conditions, data, breaking problems into parts, and debugging; at the summit, it all comes together. A child who gets stuck drops down to the same floor of the tower below, then comes back up.

Towers by grade
A tower for every age.
Children start at the tower for their grade. Lower towers stay open for review; higher ones unlock once the summit is complete.
Repetition and choice
Turn, Repeat, and If with pictures; spotting the part that repeats to shorten the program.

Decisions and conditional loops
If/else, "until" loops, sensors; a program that works even when the tower changes on every run.

AND/OR, variables, arrays, functions with parameters; then the same towers in pseudocode and Python.

For schools
Game, workbook, and guide, together.
Kodla Zıpla is designed to be played in class with a teacher. Lessons away from the computer are part of the plan, too.
01
Teacher's guide
Scope and sequence, 40-minute lesson plans, and floor-by-floor teacher notes.
02
Workbook
Two volumes: a paper page for every floor of the game, plus cut-and-play block cards.
03
Unplugged lessons
The first two lessons for every tower use movement and cards: Human Robot, the programmer on the grid.
04
Maarif and CSTA alignment
The guide lists each lesson's learning outcome and the matching codes from Türkiye's Maarif curriculum and the CSTA standards.
05
Description, not praise
The game doesn't say "Good job"; it describes what the child did: "You finished with 3 blocks."
06
Children's information is protected
The game does not ask children for an address, phone number, or photo, and the AI section does not use a camera or microphone.
AI LabTeach the machine,
Teach the machine,
then code it.
The child shows example cards to a gatekeeper, and the gatekeeper learns to make decisions from the examples. Children see how it makes mistakes when it has too few examples, and how it becomes biased when it is always shown the same kind of example. The lab has 31 tasks: Teach the Machine, Test the Helper, and the Experiment Floor.
Inside the game
The path doesn't end with the towers.
Doors along the tower path lead to text-based coding, artificial intelligence, making your own game, and short computing modules.
Code Towers
The same levels, first in Turkish pseudocode, then in Python: 3 towers, 105 levels.
AI Lab
A gatekeeper that learns from examples, a helper that works with request cards, plus prediction and experiments.

Nine short modules, including "Can I share this?", "Is it real?", and the parts of a computer.
Tower residents
Each tower has its own resident.
Eleven heroes, eleven towers. In each tower, the child guides a different hero to the treasure chest.

How does the game talk?
It describes the program, not the child.
"You finished with 4 blocks. The shortest solution is 3 blocks."
When a level ends, the game states the result in numbers. The child looks for a shorter way.
End-of-level windowat the end of every level
"Cemile bumped into the wall."
The error message describes what happened. The teacher asks: "Which block did that?"
Error messagewhen a program breaks
"The program didn't finish in 300 steps; the loop may never stop."
When a loop doesn't stop, the Stop button flashes; the child checks the condition.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions schools and parents ask most often. If you don't find your answer here, write to us.
What language is the game in?
The game and the printed materials are in Turkish for now. This website is available in four languages.
Which grades is it for?
Kindergarten to grade 8. From kindergarten to grade 6, eleven block towers unlock grade by grade; in grades 6–8, three Code Towers continue with pseudocode and Python.
Which devices does it run on?
It runs in a web browser on computers and tablets. Keyboard Bridge lessons require a keyboard.
Do children need to be able to read?
In the kindergarten tower, the blocks are wordless pictures. Audio recordings that read the tasks aloud are being prepared.
Are there unplugged lessons?
Yes. The first two lessons for every tower are unplugged; the instructions are in the teacher's guide, and the children's pages are in the workbook.
What information is collected from children?
The game does not ask children for an address, phone number, or photo. The AI section does not use a camera or microphone.
How do we get started at our school?
Request a trial for your school. We'll send your teachers a login code so they can try the game in their own classes. Then we'll plan together which class starts with which tower.
How about a trial lesson at your school?
One class, forty minutes. The children write their first programs, and you see how the game works in a real classroom.
