Ninja Sensei — Live MakeCode Coach

Meet Sensei Cato, your ninja coding coach for Code Ninjas IMPACT. Sensei Cato helps students understand their project requirements, build their MakeCode games, and decide what to work on next—with simple, encouraging guidance. ONE STEP AT A TIME Get a clear next action instead of a long list of instructions. See block hints with colors that match MakeCode. EASIER REQUIREMENT CHECKLISTS Break project requirements into individual checklist items so students can follow their progress. HELP WHEN YOU GET STUCK Cato reviews the available blocks and requirements, suggests fixes, and prompts students to use IMPACT’s Check Code button to confirm their work. BETTER GAMES Once the requirements appear complete, Cato can review the code and suggest improvements to controls, challenge, and gameplay. Cato’s recommendations are based on code analysis; it does not automatically play the game. FEEDBACK THAT’S EASY Mark advice Helpful or choose Look again to request another review.
