is: "private var displayMoney:String = dollarSymbol + displayMoney;" the same as "private var displayMoney = dollarSymbol + displayMoney;" ? Because in your 4/8 strings and variables the first answer is correct but you display the second on 5/8.

Absolutely loved playing this. I appreciate the hard work you put into it and would love to see more. A perfect mix of teaching the language, how it can be applied in a real program, and a bit of lightheartedness.

I'm having trouble with question 15 of the Rite of Passage. I type in userInput:Number*=2; but this is wrong. Can anyone supply the correct answer?

You have a typo in the part 5/9 Concatenation level. You added a extra space and " before the semicolon on code line four.

I finally finished the Game...5/5, great Job dude!
Very good explanation (altough english isn´t my native language, it was very easy to understand) and all step by step, just perfect^^

Pretty good game for learning AS3. Nice tutorial for those who don't understand programming concepts. Can't wait for more, I'm more interested in the AS3 syntax since I already know programming concepts.

Very fun game, I'm actually learning something! :D But also a few questions: Is there a way to see your computer? You can repair it, but how to tell wether it needs repairing? and what does more RAM do (in the game, not RL)?

Great game! I have wanted to "try" programming and see if it is something I would wnat to makew a career out of and this game really made it enjoyable! Keep going!

cant pass first RoP, 8th one. i type private var enemyStrenght:uint=100; but it wont accept...i didnt forget the semicolon. Any help?

As someone who has done a fair bit of programming before, I think my favorite line in the entire game was DO NOT FORGET THE SEMICOLON!

Would users be able to look at your code for the game somewhere to compare against the game itself? I would find that to be a very instructive tool.

You made some impact on Kong, buddy! :) My first reaction was "whoa, a game with graphics made in MS Paint, on a main page, with 4-stars rating..?" Quickly i found out why. The game's really teaching things; it's written in such way, that every flash newbie will understand and learn; broad age groups may enjoy it (academic student here! ;) ); Thought the graphics might be better, but after half an hour, I was so focused on training, I totally forgot about that; more! the graphics induce the thoughts in user: "everyone (including me) can actually make a game!". One thing I missed a bit: kind of "laboratory", where player actually could write simple programs, like tax calculators, compile it and make it run - I don't know if it's even possible in a flash game, but i missed the "from-A-to-Z-my-really-really-own-program"; but thats why the programming enviroments exist :) All in all, great work, mate! I need to buy some books about flash :) 5/5 P.S. - thanks for the bug-cake at the end :)
thanks for the great comment! I truly released this as my first, trial, flash game. Now I feel behind on making updates. I'll make updates, hopefully fast enough for the community! I hope to make the environment you're talking about. (or at least release source code for simple projects to play around on). Stay tuned!

Best game on Kong by a considerable margin. First time I've returned to programming since I finished school 12 years ago - enough for me to buy a book on Actionscript 3.0 this morning. Fingers crossed for an Programmer RPG 2.0!

This game is really cool, i like how it actually teaches some programming. I learned a lot in a fun way...if only school was like this.

Skajaw try out private var displayMoney:String = dollarSymbol + userMoney; , it says 300$ would look silly so you put the dollarSymbol variable first to make it $300.

tHis IS thE ANSWER. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V (or copy and paste with the mouse if you prefer) is the best way to pass some annoying type levels.

Love the game really appreciate the lessons so 5/5. I would like to be able to use my keyboards number pad instead of the top numbers though.

How can i get on some kind of email list to know when this game is updated with more levels? Great game, I can't get enough!

In Part 5/9 Concatenation there is a little mistake.
4 private var stringFour:String = stringOne + " " + stringTwo ";
IMO there is a quotation mark too much, isn't it?
I'm also a developer by myself but not in ActionScript 3 and this last quotation mark doesn't seem right for me. Correct me if I'm wrong!
I have to say: Very nice idea to program a game which handles with programming! Maybe other people will discover programming for themselves after playing this game :) Just awesome!

Awesome tutorial, hits just the right tone. Hoping for many more lessons :)
Found a small typo in elite training rite of passage 15/15: "You might have finished this path, but true me, [...]". 'true me' should be 'trust me'.
