Under rating threshold (show) considering the rite of passage on loop lava land I believe the level 3/16 has a typo: "for (var i:uint = 0; i = 7; i++) {", the answer is 8. I think there's a typo and a < is missing, so it should be i <= 7

Under rating threshold (show) What a wonderful labor of love. You'd make a fantastic computer science professor/teacher if you aren't already one. The learning curve is just right, and I really wish I had enough to money to hire you to just make these forever. Awesome job.

Thank you - I really appreciate that. I need to put a donate button on my website.

Under rating threshold (show) Thanks for the wonderful teaching. In return someone should make a similar RPG with the theme "How to use MS Paint" properly. : ) (I'm just joking)

Under rating threshold (show) I really am happy you made this. This is my first programming language, and I plan to learn C++ soon. If you know that code, please make a game on writing it. Thanks again, lego

Under rating threshold (show) I lost my first level due to both my own cockiness and the space in between the $ and the cash you have. I tried to be clever, and wrote: private var displayMoney = dollarSymbol + " " + userMoney;

Under rating threshold (show) I dont understand how to put things on the stage. Is there an update coming that will explain this, or did i miss it in the game? Love this game, look forward to more of it!

Under rating threshold (show) This game is awesome! I've been programming for a long time now so the lessons were pretty easy. I just have fun programming! I don't have enough use for this skill in my daily life so it's nice (albeit REAL nerdy) to program for fun. Keep it up! P.S. I think I might show this to my advisor in my grad program. I think undergrad programming students would benefit from it's simplicity.

Under rating threshold (show) In Logic Land on lesson Logic Operators, AND, part 4, part of the last sentence is (determine if it's value by typing true or false.) Just pointing out a typo people don't rage. Awesome game btw :D/5

Under rating threshold (show) I could be wrong, but part 3/16 of the Loops Rites says for (var i:uint = 0; i = 7; i++) { The answer is it runs 8 times. i = 7 is false from the start so it will never become true, so I think the condition is supposed to be i <= 7 ?

Under rating threshold (show) In your simple maze game, you said that you had the source code for the game on your website. I did not see it on the website. Would you mind putting it back on, or did you take it off for a reason? Thanks

I just put it back on. Enjoy - let me know if you have any questions! - GC

Under rating threshold (show) I was wondering how I can keep my data from getting erased. I'm going to clean out my computer and don't want to delete this along with everything else. Can you please explain a simple way I can get my save data? Thanks!

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

Unfortunately I do not have a good way, since the data is stored in a cookie. Until I learn how to set up a server and write a flash api, I have to do it this way. I did create the "unlocked mode" so that you can skip to the world that you were on. Hope that helps.

Under rating threshold (show) Pal, your website used to include an "extra challenge" didn't it?? Now it's just a poll thing with no hyperlinks to other pages or anything. Refer to Math Zone-The Math Class-6-last.

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

Oops! Yeah, I took that off my website. I'll have it put back up within 24 hours. Edit: the (one of several) solution, is back up now

Under rating threshold (show) This game is awesome. Such a sweet idea. I've got my fingers crossed for Stage Valley coming out soon! Is the game still being developed?

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

Yes, but very slowly. I am determined to make some time to write some new levels now that I am no longer studying for the LSAT.

Jul. 29, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) PLEASE, I'd say I had the trouble all the way from Training Zone to math Zone. That is, unless you carefully think about which level you have done, it's easy to mistakenly click into the last level you completed (rather than last unlocked i.e. the "next" level). Maybe graphically there should be 3 states of level icons - locked, unlocked, completed. There will be only one "unlocked" at a time in a zone, which is the "next level".

Under rating threshold (show) Wow. I've done 550/750 sections and beat 27/27 enemies. I think it's time to break (yeah literally. At least I'll find out what are the real var names you've used) the game. (This will NOT affect the game on Kong nor the Kong leaderboard.)

Under rating threshold (show) You are one of the best developers, and a role model for me wanting to be a future programmer. Just the fact that you still read and comment on tons of comments(not to mention the numerous large updates that have taken place) shows how dedicated you are and how the first priority for you is the gamers, and not just money. This is how all programmers should be. 5/5 for an amazing game made by an amazing programmer!

Under rating threshold (show) hey Gregory, are you working on a new update, or are you finished with this game for now?

+ - !

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

I will update it to 1000 lessons total. Time frame is tough due to my job. After 1000 lessons, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'm going to put a donate button my site, and if people donate, I'll put their name (or avatar) in the game somewhere. If I can earn a little money, I'll keep going. That's the plan for now.
