Big day: Eon's dad got him a new mouse so he can drive the computer himself. Time to start real puzzles at Code.org.
The first skill is the mouse
Before any clever code, Eon has to master something every computer user needs: clicking vs. dragging. Puzzle one is literally "click the block" — and even that takes a steady hand (Eon's mouse hand "wobbles" at first). Puzzle two is "drag the block to the target" — a click-and-hold-and-move, which is trickier than a plain click.
A click is a quick press. A drag is press-and-hold while you move. Different moves for different jobs — and both get easier with practice.
Read, then do
Each puzzle shows instructions ("drag the block to the target"). Eon's dad has him read them first, then do exactly that. That habit — understand the task before you act — is the same one real programmers use every day.
Easy on purpose
Puzzle one feels too easy, and that's the point: lessons start simple so your brain (and your mouse hand) warm up, then get trickier and trickier.
Try it
Practice on any computer: click something once, then click-and-hold to drag it somewhere. Feel the difference? That's the foundation everything else is built on.
