#CSforALL - Erase All Kittens

Full Disclosure: I am absolutely smitten with the stealth learning game Erase All Kittens. Shout-out to @PMKievlan for sharing this with us at the LRNG Pittsburgh Digital Badges training session.

The game is yet another brilliant example of stealth learning at its finest. Players "hack the game" by editing HTML and CSS code. It transforms the look, feel, and functionality of the  game.

You are rewarded with lovely kitten .GIFS when you write code that helps you to reach the cute and cuddly little friends. My personal favorite element of the game is the upbeat, quirky narration and "loading updates" that are whimsically bizarre. It's just corny enough to keep you grinning from ear to ear as you play.

 Here's How it Works...

In each level, Arca must navigate the ruins of the Ancient Internet...

She is probably checking out the Tripod.com website that I made for sophomore chemistry, along with "Up the Punk" my Oasis fan-girl turned Brit-Punk website... 

We partied like it's 1999. Because it was.

Immediately, I felt the rush that comes from being honestly challenged and motivated to continue--it was exciting to make, build, and create the levels of the game... all through lines of code.

Once you complete the third and final level, you are invited to send feedback via Google Forms. You are generously rewarded with a bonus level that teaches you about CSS. You need to change the background color and other elements of style (NO--not Strunk & White!!!) to expose malevolent Dingle Bats and other obstacles in your way... It's really, really neat!
