  Hi ! I’m considering creating a site for a school project where we might want to add different mini-games that we programmed (like a clicker game for example). Is it possible to add games that we created on a site created with WordPress ? Can I give logins to other students so that only them have and I have acess to the site (not for modifying it but just to visit it) ?

  Hi @affpkma, you can set up a private site, sure, and allow people to view it.

  Here’s how to set up a private site on WordPress.com:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  And here’s how you can invite viewers:

  Re: the games you programmed, that might be a bit trickier, particularly for a free site; we’re pretty strict about code here, because we’re responsible for security and maintenance. Our Business Plan has the infrastructure and people to handle that, but it does cost more:

  Add Code to Your Site

  That said, we do allow quite a few outside embeds. One example is CodePen:
  https://wordpress.com/support/codepen-embeds/

  I’m fairly sure on that site you can save a pen and only show it to those who have the link, and you’d be embedding it on the site. Would that work for you?

  Or, if you’re doing something besides HTML/CSS/JS for your games, let us know what you have in mind, and we’ll see if there are any built-in options.

  Cheers, and happy coding!

  Hi @supernovia, thank you four your answer. CodePen might be enough for what we want to do but is it possible to add python code ? For the mini-games we want to code we’re still searching for interesting ideas.

  If you want to add Python code to view, you can use the Code Block for that:

  If you want to execute Python code outside of what the CodePen embed allows, you would likely need to upgrade to a Business Plan in order to remove the code limitations we impose. You can read more about this here:

  Hope that clarifies things!
