    no, not some strange rhyming slang, but a new MS site for learning to code. here[^] I must admit, I thought it a good idea at first, but as I progressed, i'm thinking "nah, rubbish!" Interested in your thoughts.

      I'm stuck on this one, too :) [Edit] Na, finally I got it! [/Edit] Otherwise, I find it quite a good idea. A little bit of gray matter exercising cannot do any harm, can it?

      [Flags]
      public enum Bool {
      True, False, ForSure, Maybe, ProbablyNot, Depends, NotDecidedYet, Undefined
      }

      private interface IStealth { }

      Finally got it too. Took me 11 attempts. Looks simple after I figured it out. LOL

        Level 01.08 got me stumped. Can't make any sense out of those numbers. Who got that one so far?

          You mean this: http://www.codeproject.com/Insider.aspx?fid=1658735&tid=4822206[^] ?

          You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

            I got that one. It's 1.10 and 1.13 I haven't worked out yet. This is more a guess the formula game than any kind of programming challenge. I'll give the answer to 1.08 below in small text in case you want it.... ((2 * y) + x)

              Can't really click a button entitled 'Play' at work! Might check it out later.

                It seems less like a learn to code game than a pattern recognition practice game. I develop in C# all day, so I expected to just breeze through (the beginner levels at least). The coding isn't the hard part, it's determining the relationship between the numbers. Once I know that, there's a small challenge to getting the skill rating to 3 bars, but that takes guessing and googling. There's no hints, no teaching.

                    It bores me, but then again I'm not new. I like the concept, just as long as it builds up to something useful like a project. Building a project is the best way to learn IMO.

                      Yeah - I agree. When I first looked at it I liked the concept of providing running code and failing test cases - but it didn't seem to be going anywhere after a while, and was relying on the user spotting patterns - so was more of a "what is this function meant to be doing" than "how would you implement this function" I'd like to see the same concept with, as you said, a program building up Something simple like, off the top of my head, calculating the area of various shapes. Functions for rectangle, triangle, circle etc. etc. Arguments of side lengths/radius whatever You can then introduce the IShape interface, and Square, Circle etc. classes. Hmm - I really should get into this!
