[Introduction] The name Rukkou is a phonetic resemblance to Chinese word "Entrance". We believe that programming as a skill is vital to the success of our future generations. It just took us a hundred years to be as technologically advanced as today. Every decade we are seeing new breakthroughs. AI Robotics, Space Exploration, Electric Cars, Self-Checkout, Autonomous Driving, mRNA Vaccine and the list is growing around the clock. None of which would be possible without programming. It is almost a part of our life and it would inevitably become our life. Our civilization is incredible. In the past we operated tools with our hands, but there is a limit to our body of flesh, so we invent machines and adopt AI to serve as our physical extensions. But still, human beings are the brains of these extensions. We need our future generation to master this skill in order to develop a better environment, to go on interplanetary travels, and to preserve our civilization. In order to contribute to this great course, we are determined to research and invest in it. We want programming trainings and education to be more accessible and friendly so that every average person, every child, even when they are underprivileged, can also enjoy and learn programming. For a very long time, it has been either branded as a subject of study in universities, or painted as a very academic subject; but it is not. We want to break down that barrier. No fancy hardware is required. No costly tuition is required. [VIP Membership Subscription] Rukkou comes with an optional auto-renewing VIP Membership subscription.

This vKit is inspired by Sebastian Lague's youtube channel. Learners can use our APIs to create their own logic circuits. Beginners can inspect and play with the basic logic gates. ### 2.8 — 2022-04-09 Starting from version 2.8 Rukkou offers Simplified Chinese language support. You will notice in the top right corner of the screen there is a globe icon indicating the language which is currently selected. Tapping the icon will populate a dropdown list for users to choose the supported languages. ### 2.7 — 2022-03-30 We are pleased to announce the new vkit release featuring a Loops and Iteration Learning Module. A loop is defined as a segment of code that executes multiple times. Iteration refers to the process in which the code segment is executed once. One iteration refers to the one-time execution of a loop. A loop can undergo many iterations. We hope this module can help demonstrate the concept of looping and iterating in a vivid way. We've prepared five episodes for learners to inspect and play with loops and iterations ranging from simple to difficult. Ep. 01 Warm Welcome - Everyone is waving hand towards me Ep. 02 Chefs in the kitchen - Add a certain number of chefs using For-Loop Ep. 03 Astronauts Ninja Run - Make astronauts do ninja runs using For-Loop Ep. 04 Same kind in each row - Using While-Loop and modular arithmetic Ep. 05 Everybody jumps - Add some delay for each person before jumping ### 2.6 — 2022-03-21 We are pleased to introduce a new coding kit for young ages - Lucky Wheel. This vKit aims to help learners understand the significance of the use of conditional statements in a game or other applications. We've prepared five episodes for learners to inspect and play with ranging from simple to difficult. It is recommended to have two players. Before a game starts, the two participants will negotiate what the reward and punishment will be, how many rounds there will be, as well as what the triggering winning conditions are. Learners will implement a `decision` function to bring rules into effect. We have prepared a few coding examples for you: Ep. 01 Always Win - Let's take a look at this trick Ep. 02 Single Condition - Must end in gold to win Ep. 03 OR Conditions - Score either gold or gem to win Ep. 04 AND Conditions - Must score both gold and gem to win Ep. 05 Difficulty HIGH - Multiple Conditional Amounts ### 2.5 — 2022-03-12 We are pleased to introduce a new coding kit for young ages - Animal Variables. By simply drag-and-drop coding blocks, learners are able to form unique animations among 45 animals, 21 facial expressions, and 18 animations. Learners should notice the values of variables are changing while the name of the variables remain unchanged. Each value change leads to a different output, in this case, a vivid animal animation. We have prepared a few coding examples for you: Ep. 01 Set Variable - Specify an animal to display Ep. 02 Animation - Want to see a flying elephant? Ep. 03 Facial Expression -How about a sweating racoon? Ep. 04 Loop - Change facial expressions over time ## Apps similar to Rukkou | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Tutorials for After Effects](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tutorials-for-after-effects/id934815233) | 4.8 (11) | Free | Education | | [Violin Lessons & Learn](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/violin-lessons-and-learn/id966385642) | 2.3 (3) | Free | Education | | [Python introductory tutorial](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/python-introductory-tutorial/id6446197235) | 4.2 (13) | Free | Education | | [Codingal - Coding for K-12](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/codingal-coding-for-k-12/id1613648202) | — | Free | Education | | [imagi Edu](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/imagi-edu/id1611319540) | 1.0 (1) | Free | Education | | [Egyptian Phrasebook](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/egyptian-phrasebook/id6447467674) | 5.0 (1) | $6.99 | Education | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
