About The Code Book
The Code Book is a free interactive coding curriculum built and maintained by an independent developer based in the United Kingdom. It covers seven floors of learning โ from absolute beginner to professional-grade programming โ and includes lessons, games, XP tracking, a leaderboard, spaced repetition revision, and a focus timer. By using The Code Book you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
Your account
You can create a free account using your email and password or by signing in with Google. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. You may not create multiple accounts to manipulate leaderboard rankings or gain an unfair advantage. We reserve the right to suspend or remove any account that breaches these terms.
Guest access
You may explore Floors 1 and 2 as a guest without creating an account. Guest progress โ including XP earned and sections completed โ is stored in your browser's local storage only. It is not backed up to our servers and will be permanently lost if you clear your browser data or switch devices. Creating a free account is the only way to save your progress permanently.
Acceptable use
You agree to use The Code Book for personal learning purposes only. You must not attempt to copy, scrape, or reproduce any curriculum content, games, or design for redistribution. You must not attempt to reverse-engineer the platform, gain unauthorised access to other users' data, or use the platform for any unlawful purpose. Automated access or bots are not permitted.
XP, streaks and the leaderboard
Your display name, XP score and streak count are visible to all users on the public leaderboard. Your email address is never shown publicly. XP and streaks are tied to your account and reset to zero if your account is deleted. We reserve the right to adjust or reset scores in cases of abuse or manipulation.
Games and curriculum content
The Code Book includes games โ Launch Sequence, Venus Mode, and Glitch Mode โ alongside structured learning sections across seven floors. All curriculum content, game mechanics, visuals, and audio are original work owned by The Code Book. Nothing on the platform may be reproduced or redistributed without explicit written permission.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Code Book and its developer shall not be liable for any loss of data, learning progress, or any direct, indirect, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform.
