📝 Quick summary of key information
What if a program could guide you through a maze?
Imagine you are lost in a big maze. Luckily, a little program can help you find the way out! Algorithms are like recipes for computers. They give exact instructions to solve problems.
'If... then' instructions help make decisions. For example, 'if you see a wall, then turn right.' This helps the program choose the right path. It's like having a friend who gives you advice so you don't get lost.
Loops repeat actions until a condition is met. For example, 'keep going until you find an exit.' This helps you not stay stuck in the same place. It's like telling a friend to keep looking until they find something.
A program can follow logical paths to find the way out of a maze. It uses instructions and loops to make choices. It's like having a smart guide that always shows you the right way.

The Digital Maze
What if a program could guide you through a maze?
The entrance to the Maze
After learning to code mazes, talking dragons, and cats, Aïcha and Kenji are suddenly transported to a world where every line of code becomes magical. In the village, they had met robots that, thanks to lines of code, could perform complex (1) movements. Watching a dragonfly fluttering around them, they noticed that nature itself is influenced by invisible codes. The dragonfly, with its translucent wings, seems to trace patterns in the air, as if following a predetermined path. Intrigued, Aïcha and Kenji are led by the dragonfly directly to the entrance of a mysterious maze.
Kenji, with wide eyes, shouts:
« It's a magic maze! »
Aïcha, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, says:
« Yes, and each wall reacts differently. »
Kenji, determined, says:
« I will write loops on my tablet. »
Aïcha, after watching the walls, says:
« I am going to look at the colors of the walls. »
Soon after, Kenji writes a series of loops on his tablet. The loops help them pass the traps, revealing a chest full of code puzzles (2). Aïcha and Kenji are amazed by what they find. They know that each puzzle is a new adventure to solve.
The Code Puzzles
Kenji and Aïcha open the chest. They find cards with code puzzles. Each card is a series of instructions (3) to complete. Kenji and Aïcha are excited. They know that each puzzle is a new riddle to solve.
Kenji, focused, says:
« I will write loops and conditions. »
Aïcha, eyes sparkling, says:
« I'm going to think of some picture solutions. »
Kenji, pointing at the screen of his tablet, says:
« Look, this loop repeats the instructions. »
Aïcha, pointing at the screen, says:
« And this condition changes the path. »
After solving several code puzzles, Kenji and Aïcha find a new clue. This clue leads them to a secret door. They open the door and discover a new maze. In this maze, glowing walls react to the algorithms (4) they write. Kenji and Aïcha are amazed by this discovery. They keep exploring this new magical world, using their coding skills to move forward.
After solving the code puzzles and opening the chest, our friends discover a glowing portal (5). By going through it, they find themselves in front of a floating cloud where every webpage shines like a star. Aïcha, with Kenji, and their friends will learn to create a living website with code. They will discover how each line of code can animate elements and make pages interactive, turning their ideas into real virtual worlds. In this new adventure, they will explore the endless possibilities of programming (6) and create websites that tell magical and captivating stories.
