Field notes

Maker Caper links separate making environments into one progression: a learner can solve a visual puzzle, inspect immediate results, then reuse code, characters, levels, music, and effects in a playable game. The homepage lists nine connected experiences, including typed Python, sound design, a level builder, and an AI-literacy studio. It advertises an instantly playable puzzle without an account and presents both monthly and yearly plans, with a stated no-ads policy.
