Bug Fixes

Captures other lines too

It kept capturing other lines too and glitches a lot.

👍

Using Pocky is very fun! I like this game that uses pocky to play!

I don’t like it

Every time I scan the pocky it scan the other lines and doesn’t scan the pocky and why do you have to use pocky

WTH

Why does the Pocky not work I faced right but it kept saying left and for your information I had to use nerf gun bullets to get it working please upgrade your sensors coz pocky don’t work but nerf bullets do. So are we supporting nerf? Or pocky?

Wth is this mess

I normally don’t write reviews but I had to google on how to write this review to drop this down.

1. Anything can be pokey if there is a straight line , my chair ,the curved edge of my plate, my chopstick ,my keyboard , ME?!? .everything is pokey and scannable if you try

2. If you get the code wrong you are still write as long as you hit the goal before spamming random commands. Eg level 3

3. Hug hug seems kinda creepy not gonna lie I was going to file a restraining order against that guy.

4. Camera doesn’t even register for some of the pokey maybe because of flavour colors?

5. Worst of all I think I may have broken the app a couple times by using the app’s contract function a couple times ,so it just freezes on me.

FAQ

What is GLICODE?

GLICODE is a free educational app that teaches children the basics of coding by using Pocky snacks. Users arrange Pocky sticks on a placemat, and the app uses augmented reality to interpret the arrangement as code, guiding a mascot through various challenges.

What coding concepts can I learn with GLICODE?

The app teaches three fundamental coding concepts: SEQUENCES, LOOPS, and 'IF' STATEMENTS. By arranging Pocky in different orders and patterns, users learn how these concepts translate into algorithmic thinking and problem-solving.

What do I need to use GLICODE?

To use GLICODE, you will need the GLICODE app itself, a packet of Chocolate Pocky snacks, and a plain white placemat or surface. The Pocky sticks are used as physical input for the coding challenges.

How does GLICODE work?

First, you line up your Pocky snacks on a white placemat. Then, you use your phone's camera to capture a picture of the snack sequence. The app interprets this sequence as code, and you can then test it to see the mascot navigate the course.

Is GLICODE suitable for school?

Yes, GLICODE has been adopted by school lesson programs in Japan, specifically for popularizing programming education for young segments. Elementary school teachers use it as a classroom tool to teach early elementary school kids the basics of programming.
