There's a lesson here. If you want to learn how to code, get a programming language, here's another shocker - the languages that they teach in game development courses are free or really cheap and quite easy to learn.
There is no need for a videogame to pretend to teach people to code, what a rediculous concept. I prefer Notch's ideas for c10 or whatever it's called - code in that is more like an evolution of Minecraft redstone circuits, there to let enquiring minds take the game to another level... not try and teach peeps psuedo game programming.
Game programming can be so easy these days that it can be as fun as actually playing games, we don't need any middle ground here, we don't need any obfuscation, it's counter-productive.
