Code Hero: a video game that teaches you to make video games

by Laura Domela

“Most first person shooters ask kids to run around and kill enemy soldiers, demons, or prostitutes. Code Hero just wants you to kill your ignorance. An action packed video game, Code Hero is also a lesson on how to program computers. Players run around using a special ‘gun’ that lets them copy and past code in the virtual environment. They must use this code to build structures, manipulate the world around them, and ultimately defeat Null, the evil artificial intelligence that is threatening to conquer humanity.”

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
