Grown-ups sign in with Google, and we look at each request before letting someone in. Kids get their account from a teacher's class or from a parent, who is responsible for how their kids use GameCoder. Keep your password to yourself: you're responsible for what happens on your account.

The rules for using GameCoder.
These are the rules for everyone who uses GameCoder: kids, teachers, parents and other grown-ups. They're short on purpose. Using GameCoder means you agree to them.
Terms
The quick rules
- Be kind, and make games, not trouble.
- Keep personal details out of games.
- You own what you make.
- We can remove what breaks these rules.
Accounts
Your games
You own the games you make (on a school account, your school's rules may also apply). You let GameCoder store, run and show them so the service works: saving, previews, and sharing with the audience you choose. Games made with the AI helper come as they are, so check them before you use them anywhere else.
The AI helper
The AI helper can make mistakes. It follows kid-safety rules, so it turns some requests down and suggests something fun instead. Don't try to get around those rules or the safety checks.
Fair use and limits
AI costs real money, so there are usage limits on how much each account can build, and sometimes building is paused for everyone for a while. GameCoder is still growing: features change, and it can be down or lose work, so keep your own copy of anything important.
Not allowed
What's not allowed
- Anything hateful, sexual, gory, or meant to bully or scare someone.
- Using real people as targets, or sharing personal details: addresses, phone numbers, schools, photos of real kids.
- Trying to find, contact or trick kids.
- Breaking or overloading GameCoder, or getting around its limits or safety checks.
- Using someone else's work in a way you don't have permission for.
Teachers can hide or remove games shared in their class, and GameCoder admins can remove any game. We may pause or close an account that breaks these rules, and tell the school when it's a school account.
Privacy and questions
Privacy, changes, questions
Our privacy page explains what we keep and who can see it, and it's part of these rules. A school's own agreement with us comes first where it says more. We'll post changes here, and the date at the top says when these rules last changed. Unsure how a rule applies? Ask us.
