splat, honey, that game is going to be for...as far as i can tell...people who wish to learn coding.
it's not just something you can pick up and learn in a few days.

Yes, but the target audience is actually kids / young adolescents, you know, people still going to school. So the coding is basic, and easy to grasp. Since anyone older that actually wants to learn coding will go to books and whatnot. With this game, they want to make learning some basic coding more appealing and fun for children, through a game.
The game will still try to appeal to older audience probably, but the target is children.. the company making it is ThoughSTEM, they are all about teaching coding to children.

i didn't really do research, so i assumed from what i'd seen that it would be for adults
that's very interesting

That's not even valid pseudo-code @.@
Also, the game looks decent, for kids anyways, it's a nice idea at the very least.

How can coding your own magic possible be "a boring educational game".
The KS description specifically mentions that it is geared towards adults and kids alike and that even experienced coders might get a kick or two out of it, if only for the fun way to apply your coding skills. I'm sure you can code something more complex in a freeform editor or something.

Its a nice idea, they just have to implement it right.

Yeah, it mentions they have a freeform editor for more advanced users. The code is based on JavaScript too, which is cool, JavaScript is pretty good, has its crappy sides like all languages, but its an awesome language to learn.

The code interface looks like what was used in Lego Mindstorms.
That drove me nuts, having the cookie cutter coding UI all the time.
Though I learned to code before GUI was a thing, and finding syntax errors was a fact of life.
Long as it supports code input by plain text as well as the GUI tool I'd be satisfied, just because for me it is faster and more accurate to command a computer by keyboard than by mouse.
Also, graphical block coding tools become very difficult to work with on code projects above a certain size and complexity. There will be projects where you basically have to switch it to text input to do what you need.
