Under rating threshold (show) For some reason I'm really stuck on the second parentheses question I'm really not getting it. Are there supposed to be words inside the brackets? It says close these [ { ( alright, so [{()}] ???

Under rating threshold (show) Mmmm, cake. This was enjoyable and educational. I feel like I spent a useful few hours actually getting a little bit smarter as opposed to my usual tower-defense-gaming to kill time. Thanks for the amount of work you must have put into this!

Under rating threshold (show) /*Hey Gregory! Happy belated Halloween! I Just finished the game. So cool. I've been playing flash games probably for the past 10 years, and I'm in my twenties. I've always wondered who makes these games and how they do it. It's always been so interesting to me. I started using CodeCademy recently and had some issues learning there, although it is an amazing and important site. However, I finished your game in two or so days wanting to come back to it, and my sleepiness caught up with me. I do want to be able to code more efficiently and learn the other elements of AS3 to create games. I'm sure you're working hard to code more levels and stuff, and I can't wait to learn more AS3. Thanks. */

Under rating threshold (show) and a second thought about the comment regarding the last rite of passed page 7, the syntax 1 if (enemyHealth = 0) { 2 enemyDies(); 3 } the (enemyHealth = 0) is not an operation that will change the value of a variable, the parenthisies used in this way after IF, simply checks if the conditionals placed on the values of the variables is either true or false, when coding the conditional as "=" insted of "==" you are actually causing a syntax error

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

I'll check that. Thanks for your comments.

Under rating threshold (show) In the elite rite of passage part 11/15 there is a mistake in the multiple choice question. The answer is D but the statement it gives is a repeat of the statement from A. It should be trace(variableTwo + variableThree)... or whatever the actual variable names were.

Under rating threshold (show) I have some bugs. The first one is that "sections complete" says 353/350. And i defeated all the enemies in both arenas saved the game and no "surprise" came up. :/

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

I am updating the achievement system. Don't worry, in the update, you should be able to see the "surprise" even though you somehow completed extra sections. I'll warn you though, execute function lowerExpectations(); ;)

Under rating threshold (show) Hi Gregory! Question: In Part 4/9 Building a Tip Calculator Part 2, shouldn't the tip be 1.08 rather than 0.08 in order to get 48.6? Because 0.08*45 = 3.6 whereas 1.08*45 = 48.6 Thank for this game btw. I've been playing it section by section for the past 3 days and am delighted at how much you have taught me in such a short time.

+ - !

(3)

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

thanks. it should be 0.08 because remember, (I'm not looking at the code) but I think I remember it should be totalBill + tip*totalBill, in which case, the tip should be .08

Under rating threshold (show) Excellent Game! I am not much of a programmer, as I only did a few programs going on 15 years ago. I did find much of this quite helpful to remember what's going on and to learn the syntax of Actionscript 3. I had usually a much easier time with the answers that involved coding than with retyping your messages. I often didn't see the punctuation especially at first! Please keep going, it looks like your upcoming maps have stuff that I didn't cover my 1 class.

Under rating threshold (show) "In order to pass to the next section, type: *Text you need to type*". Ah, select it -> ctrl+c ->click on editable line -> ctrl+v . Like a true lazy programmer! xD

+ - !

(75)

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

"Like a true programmer." That's the idea. The other thing I like about that is if you copy code without *really* understanding it (in this case, reading it), and if it causes bugs, it takes a TON of time to fix. LIKE A TRUE PROGRAMMER! (speaking from personal experience).

Under rating threshold (show) Really enjoyed this! My only recommendation would be to add another place to get health in the second world zone so that you don't have to click back and forth if you mess up while in logic village.

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

when you ragequit, it should heal your health. Unless you are completing levels and going back. In which case, at least you aren't ragequitting?
