Scalable Coder: Inheritance, Polymorphism & Networks
Level 5 is where your child moves from writing code to architecting it. Projects grow across sessions, systems talk to each other, and robots make decisions of their own.
Across the year, they'll build an idle tycoon game powered by upgrades and automation, a live multiplayer party game where every answer is sent, scored and revealed in real time, and a robot arena where bots scan, react and cooperate as a team.
They'll use inheritance and polymorphism to build flexible systems, packets and shared game states to keep connected players in sync, and AI logic to give robots the ability to assess, decide and act on their own.
By the end of this year, your child will be able to build projects that grow over time, manage live gameplay across connected programs, and use reusable, structured code to create behaviours that scale.

About this module
Fortune Factory | Earn. Expand. Automate.
Welcome to Fortune Factory, a growing tycoon world where your child creates the systems that turn simple actions into bigger upgrades, faster progress and automated success.
In this module, your child will create a fully functioning idle game where players earn resources, unlock upgrades and build systems that keep generating progress over time. They'll design how the game looks and feels, then code the logic behind every button, counter and reward.
Along the way, they'll learn how to architect a larger project using classes, objects, inheritance and polymorphism, and explore design patterns that keep bigger codebases organised and easy to extend. As the game develops, they'll add persistent data so progress survives between sessions, and tune the balance to make every upgrade feel earned.
By the end of this course, your child will have built a complete idle tycoon game with a custom interface, saved progress and a structured codebase that can support a larger project.
What your child will learn
- Programming Constructs (Sequencing, Branching, Looping & Functions)
- Data Structures (Lists & Dictionaries)
- Object Orientation (Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism & Overriding Functions)
- Design Patterns (Singletons & Best Practices)
- Persistent Data (Serialising & Deserialising)
- User Interfaces (Layout, Text, Buttons & Events)
- Asset Management (Resource Locations & Project File Paths)
- Game Balance (Progression Systems & Fun Factor)

We know that learning doesn’t always fit neatly into 50-minutes. Some topics take longer to grasp, and sometimes students simply need space to ask questions or work through ideas at their own pace.
That’s why every FunTech lesson includes an optional 30-minute extension, built in from the start. It’s not just for the student’s benefit; it also gives our expert tutors the time they need to give proper attention and support, without the pressure of rushing off to their next class.
It means your child can leave each lesson feeling confident, with everything covered in a single session, which is especially helpful for busy families juggling packed schedules.
In most cases, this built-in time is all that’s needed. On rare occasions, we may recommend a separate prep session, but that’s very much the exception rather than the rule.

About this module
Party Protocol | Link. Sync. Reveal.
Welcome to Party Protocol, where every answer has to reach the right place at exactly the right moment.
Your child will build both sides of a live multiplayer party game: a server that runs the show and client programs that handle each player's responses. They'll learn how hosts, servers and clients communicate, how to package information into packets so it travels correctly, and how to keep a shared game state in sync across multiple connected programs.
As the game develops, they'll manage prompts, scoring, round flow and dramatic answer reveals. They'll also explore binary encoding and asynchronous functions, giving the game the ability to keep moving while information is still being exchanged.
By the end of this course, your child will have created a working networked party game prototype and will understand how connected programs communicate, stay in sync and control live gameplay.
What your child will learn
- Programming Constructs (Sequencing, Branching, Looping & Functions)
- Data Structures (Lists & Dictionaries)
- Object Orientation (Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism & Overriding Functions)
- Networking (Hosts, Servers & Clients)
- Packets (Creating, Sending & Receiving)
- Asynchronous Functions (Creating & Calling)
- Encoding Data (To/From Binary)
- Game States (Managing & Syncing)

About this module
Bot Battles | Build. Blast. Outlast.
Welcome to Bot Battles, where your child creates a team of coded robots, each with its own role, reactions and strategy inside the arena.
Your child will build a squad of robots that share a common structure but behave in completely different ways. Using inheritance and polymorphism, they'll create a reusable base and extend it into distinct robot types, each with its own strengths, role and place in the team.
Then the real fun begins. AI logic gives each bot the ability to scan the arena, read the situation and react. Aiming, cooldowns and projectile systems turn them into genuine competitors, before cooperative play comes into its own with robots that follow leaders, share information and fight together towards a common goal.
By the end of this course, your child will have built a robot arena with multiple specialised robot types, used AI logic to drive decision-making and cooperative team behaviours, and developed a solid understanding of how inheritance and polymorphism power flexible, intelligent systems at scale.
What your child will learn
- Programming Constructs (Sequencing, Branching, Looping & Functions)
- Data Structures (Lists & Dictionaries)
- Object Orientation (Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism & Overriding Functions)
- Polymorphic Behaviour (Base Class Logic & Child Class Logic)
- Arena Events (Scanning & Identifying Opponents)
- Robot Management (Projectile Management, Cooldowns & Aiming)
- Teamed Robots (Leaders, Broadcasting Events & Working Together)

Virtual Labs
FunTech Virtual Labs gives your child the freedom to learn cutting-edge coding and tech skills wherever you are.
Our tutors can see your child's screen for the entire lesson, that's why FunTech Virtual Labs are different to the others. It allows tutors to respond immediately if your child needs support, give them a nudge if their attention wanders or set them a new task if they finish ahead of the rest.

Using a state-of-the-art virtual learning platform, we deliver tutor-led classes in real-time with a 1:4 tutor student ratio.
FAQs
What does a virtual class mean?
A virtual class is a scheduled interactive online lesson delivered by FunTech.
All our virtual software is Citrix driven and so extremely safe
How does the virtual class work?
All students receive a virtual orientation lesson before the start of their course.
For each lesson, your child will receive an email invitation containing a link allowing them to log onto our virtual classroom. We schedule a maximum of four students who are predominately based in the UK, however, a few of our students have moved abroad due to parents work commitments and therefore log in from further afield.
The lessons themselves are the exact same as is delivered in a physical classroom. Through our virtual classroom environment, your child has the option to raise their hand, ask questions and also speak to the other students in their class (though we do have a mute all option '- just in case!)
FunTech teachers are able to pass control of their monitor to an individual student or share it amongst all the students. With permission, we can take control of a students' monitor to demonstrate concepts, share common mistakes or outstanding work as we would in a physical classroom.
All our virtual software is Citrix driven and so extremely safe
What do we need to join a virtual class?
Good internet connection, headphones with a microphone and a computer.
