This survey study examines students' perceptions on learning programming with CodinGame. Participants included 71 students at Department of Computer Programming Isparta University of Applied Sciences in Turkey. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used. In order to collect quantitative data, the questionnaire method was used, and open-ended questions were applied to reach qualitative data that data was subjected to content analysis. According to the research results, it has been determined that the participants described CodinGame as an educational code learning platform and can be used in computer programming courses. CodinGame platform provides challenge to write correct code and solve the problem, so it helps users to improve coding skills. Also, students emphasized that the platforms as CodinGame is too important to increase learning motivation in computer programming in the pandemic process for studying in distance education away from face-to-face training.
