I have the cookie auto-cleaner enabled and I'm not going to change it just because of this game. Change the save-data function in order to save the game progress in a text file.
Fair critique - indeed, many games allow for text based imports. Unfortunately, game progress in my game is based off of indexing a 3-dimensional jagged array, and I do not know a clean way of translating this to text. I will make a last update without a text based solution, but my future games will allow this option, so thanks for the feedback, and sorry I can't be more helpful.

So I know this is silly but I'm having issues on episode 4 -2 DO NOT FORGET THE SEMICOLON!; I think is the answer... and it's being refused? Halp?

at first, i was unimpressed by the graphics, but i really enjoyed the step by step teaching. it was a lot of fun learning :)
the only problem i have with it though, is that in the elite training? the second rite of passage... part 8/15, i don't think you can concatenate a string with a number

Hello Gregory, thank you so much for making this game, I'm 15 years old in high school right now, and I believe I want to be a computer programmer, but my school doesn't teach any classes on this sort of education due to low budgets. But now that I'm learning by playing this game I am really interested into probably going into this occupation. Thank you again.
(also my name is Gregory as well, haha)
Cool, great name! :) The world needs more programmers for sure. I recommend http://www.codecademy.com/ if you want to continue learning. I did not study programming in college, so you don't necessarily need to major in it to learn.

hi there @Gregory Carlson.. so I have a ton of stuff I'd love to talk to you about - regarding programming of course haha so I went to your website to contact you but as I'm sure you know it contains the answer to a question that I haven't come across yet (not so stoked it's at the top of your page) ! and some other things like script for a maze etc but no contact info or ways to contact .. nothing at all really. any who as I was saying, I love this program and am new to programming and would love you to email me or something? I'd feel awkward posting my email here so maybe meet me in chat sometime or something?
Thank you,
Dedicated noob programmer :)

Aweeeeeesome game! I just finished logic land and I can't wait for new lessons to be released! Thank you so much, Gregory!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
just had an idea. let a player skip to the rite of passage level and if they can complete it then clear all the prior levels so they can move on faster? I've never forgotten logic operators, and although a good refresher, it was rather a bore. ;)

Elite training Zone, Rite of passage, in the last message after completing it has a grammar error. The word true should be changed.

Well, for the second time in my life I am looking at code and learning it, although this time around I haven't rage quite yet. Probably because I am being entertained and learning. So much better than reading a book and trying to figure out why my code never worked.

This is... actually a pretty great game for teaching code. I'm in my second year of coding now and this is solid with simple and easy to understand explanations on how things work and why they do what they do without throwing too much in your face right off the bat. Great job on this.

This is awesome. I've been wanting to learn programming, but never had the time, money or patience to take an actual class. This is perfect. It's fun enough to keep my patience, it's simple enough to not take time and it's free! I'm learning so much! Please continue this! I promise to dedicate all my future games to you if you continue this.

loop rite of passage 8/16
private var i:uint =0;
//create a loop that executes until i < 480.
I thought the answer would be:
while( i<480) {

In Loop Volcano Part 3/16 Rite of Passage
How many times will the following loop run? Write your answer as a number, like 5. If the loop is an infinite loop, type infinity.
1 for (var i:uint = 0; i = 7; i++) {
The question should be "for (var i:uint = 0; i' sign and this is a big mistake :|

Part 3/16 Rite of Passage: For/While Volcano
I believe the loop command should read:
1 for (var i:uint = 0; i was missing for the exit conditional

Part 3/9 "For Loop Practice"
You never mention what word to use in the trace statement requested. I had to click on "Hint" to realize the word you wanted was "number".

In "The Math Class" section of "The Math Zone". The first stage "1. The Math Class" on part 2/5 the question incorrectly leaves out the function call. I believe it should read as follows: 3 private var myNumber:Number = Math.abs(-250);

I have been waiting several months for an update. If I didn't accidentally mouse over the My Kong tab on the website header and saw that Gregory Carlson was playing the Programmer RPG, I might've completely forgotten about this game. May the update be righteous. P.S. Greg, you didn't mention anything about do...while loops in the Loop Lavalands. (Since you didn't update, I've been taking material off other sources.) I hope you teach us about interacting with the screen. All I know how to do is produce calculations and make a bitmap image come up on the stage. I also don't believe you discussed Packages, much about Objects and Instances or instantiation. I took some help from a tutorial by a guy named Tom Auger who writes similarly to the Programmer RPG. But all he came up to was teaching how to bring "Hello World!" on the Output Screen and show a bitmap image that I made on the Stage. P.P.S. What's a Sprite object?
Thanks for this. The next update will talk about images on the screen and hierarchy. I am working for a Congressional Candidate and hope to have more lessons when the election is over (November 4). In the meantime, look up the following keywords to learn more: sprite, movieclip, gotoAndStop(); flash hierarchy; addChild(); removeChild();

I have learned in a day what would have been weeks of material to study and understand. An Awesome and Informative game.
Schools should hire you to create training Apps for studying programs; everything you need to know in one game, starting from the very basics to the most complex of lessons, that would be an interesting development to the world!

Strings and Variables 4th part, Pls help, what am I doing wrong.
private var displayMoney:String = userMoney + dollarSymbol;

Did anyone else notice that for the 7/9 in conditionals for the conditional junction the last thing you were to type in was something like "I will learn variables, OR ELSE."? So punny :)

My charachter gave up and rage quit? More like I gave up and rage quit. In lesson 5, basic math, I F*CKING ENTERED myVariable += 75 Andit didnt let me move on to the next one. Im gonna try it once more, with a semicolon,but I doubt that will help. I swear I will rate this 1 star if this doesnt work. I even used a hint and the hint practilly told me the answer. What a useless game....

Amazing game! I noticed a little grammatical error in the first level in the Elite Zone (Strings): At 3/7, it writes "Whtespace is gaps in your code..."

Just a note, I found a small grammatical error on pert five of the Conditional Basics lesson. The text says "... You will see why when you code gets very long, ...", and the second you in it should be your.

For those interested, a domain of a function is the inputs the function can take. For example, I can tell that my function's input can be number which are greater 67. The codomain or range of a function is the list of all the possible outputs. For example, if f(x) is defined as x^2 + 4, then the range of f(x) <= 4, as the lowest possible value that can come as the output is 4.
