Show HN: ArtisanForge: Learn Laravel through a gamified RPG adventure

ArtisanForge operates in show hn launch.

Profile

Hey HN,I built ArtisanForge, a free platform to learn PHP and Laravel through a medieval-fantasy RPG. Instead of traditional tutorials, you progress through kingdoms, solve coding exercises in a browser editor, earn XP, join guilds, and fight boss battles.Tech stack: Laravel 12, Livewire 3, Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js. Code execution runs sandboxed via php-wasm in the browser.What's in there:- 12 courses across 11 kingdoms (PHP basics to deployment)- 100+ interactive exercises with real-time code validation using AST analysis- AI companion (Pip the Owlox) that uses Socratic method – never gives direct answers- Full gamification: XP, levels, streaks, achievements, guilds, leaderboard- Multilingua

ArtisanForge is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
