Code Hunt

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.

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

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.

Just like real life then?

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!

Any luck with 1.10, 1.13?

1.10 spoiler ahead x + y/3

1.13 (x%3) + 1

1.10 spoiler ahead x + y/3
Thank you so much!
