  A game for learning CSS flexbox 🐸

Also it's kind of "out of order" for the curriculum but for a taste of web development, Flexbox Froggy is a browser-based game that teaches part of CSS called flexbox, which is used to position things. It might be a way to get a taste for what writing code feels like.

• learn-gdscript

I came here for this, and to plug GD Quest's browser-based course at https://gdquest.github.io/learn-gdscript/ It's basically freeCodeCamp but for Godot. All in the browser, great explanations, automated testing, cool graphics. :P
