CodeZapra: An AI-Driven Gamified Visual Platform for Stage-Wise Programming Learning

The rapid expansion of the digital economy has intensified the demand for programming skills across industries, exposing limitations in traditional teaching methods that rely on static content and limited interaction. Beginners often struggle with abstract concepts, insufficient guidance, and low engagement levels. This paper presents CodeZapra, an interactive web platform designed to enhance programming education through visual learning and stage-wise problem solving. The system integrates Artificial Intelligence to generate adaptive programming problems based on learner performance, enabling personalized practice. Gamification features such as points, badges, and progress tracking further improve motivation and retention. The proposed platform creates an engaging and scalable learning ecosystem that strengthens programming proficiency and problem-solving skills.
