RULES + DESIGN NOTES
Codefall
Learn the pattern. Catch the code. Build the page.
Codefall is Hadtoo's coding arcade game. Each level teaches one React concept, gives the player a no-pressure practice sequence, then turns that pattern into a timed code-catching round while a live webpage builds above the playfield.
HOW THE GAME WORKS
Learn the objective
Every level opens with one coding objective, a short explanation of how the pattern works, and a rendered example so the player understands the code before speed matters.
Practice the sequence
The player taps the correct code pieces in order with no timer and no lives. This guided pass establishes the syntax and nesting pattern before the arcade round starts.
Catch the moving code
During the round, valid code and distractors travel through the lower playfield. The player must tap the next correct piece in sequence; mistakes break the combo and cost a life.
Watch it render
Correct code advances the live webpage in the upper portion of the screen. Results reinforce what the player built and report accuracy, combo, mistakes, score, and code pieces per minute.
WHAT HADTOO CREATED FOR THIS TITLE
Specific systems, not a claim over the whole genre.
- The Objective → Guidance → Guided Practice → Timed Round → Reinforcement learning loop inside one arcade game.
- The 30/70 live-render-and-code-field presentation where correct code assembly visibly builds the interface during play.
- The progression from whole React patterns toward more granular code pieces, with distractor syntax, combo pressure, CPM scoring, and a deterministic path toward future same-seed multiplayer.
ORIGINALITY BOUNDARY
What we mean when we call it original.
Programming education, typing games, rhythm games, and falling-block games are established categories. Hadtoo does not claim those broad ideas. Codefall's original work is the specific lesson-to-arcade loop, moving code-sequence mechanic, live build feedback, curriculum structure, scoring presentation, and implementation used by this title.
