Under rating threshold (show) @ OverweightCow "Close this" Meaning close the Brackets, Meaning they're already opened, as you can see. It doesn't say to create them, or open and close them, just close them.

Under rating threshold (show) I breezed through it in a little under an hour, Knowing a little bit of C++ and C, But great so far, Although I'm wondering If there is some kind of massive jump between knowing the theoretical Parts, and actually implementing it?

+ - !

(-1)

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

there is a big jump. My dream is to use this game to eventually bridge this gap

Under rating threshold (show) "While playing this game, you may earn virtual currency ($) and items. By playing this game, you acknowledge that all in game items and currencies have no “real world” value and do not imply any “real world” value." LOL?

better to be safe than sorry. I don't have enough money to pay everyone ;)

Under rating threshold (show) I think you should specify if you want us to put the entire code or if you want us to put part of it. Like when I was first starting out "Close this [{(" And I put "[{()}]" and got it wrong.

Under rating threshold (show) in Part 5/9 of Concatenation you have 4 private var stringFour:String = stringOne + " " + stringTwo "; isn't the last " wrong? or am I misunderstanding something

Under rating threshold (show) I learned a lot, I literally sat for 3 hours straight and got from the beginning to the end. I was hooked. I even considered trying to write some code to help you out after I learned how to use && so that you could accept multiple answers for some of the questions!

hahaha, thanks!

Under rating threshold (show) I'm giving this game 5 stars. This would have been very helpful when I first learnt programming. I may not agree with the identation (I prefer to put "{" in their own lines, but to each its style. I hope you continue to make this game :D

Under rating threshold (show) Love the game but my save files keep disappearing.

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

the savefile is a cookie; are you deleting cookies?

Under rating threshold (show) I like this game due to its repetition to really get stuff into your head and how it uses an "RPG" to make you play the game over and over just to get stuff for your protagonist. Graphics don't even matter!

Under rating threshold (show) I think I'm just tarding out for a minute but I cannot get the answer for part 11 on the Rite Of Passage in the training center. Can someone please help me? Thanks!

Under rating threshold (show) As someone from a culture where tipping is not standard, I found the first tip calculator section quite unclear. I didn't know whether taxAmount was the extra due to tax, or the total amount after tax. I also didn't know whether tipAmount was calculated from the original bill or price after tax.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

emmm, I see how this could be confusing. sorry. I taught for a semester in China, and we never tipped. Give me a shout if you're still stuck.

Under rating threshold (show) JETZero3 I think that {0,1,2,3,...} are natural numbers and {-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,....} are whole numbers

Alectric

Oct. 26, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) I suppose there isn't a precise consensus on the definition of 'whole numbers'. I think of it as numbers without fractions or decimals, which includes negative numbers. Either way, I consider the term 'natural numbers' to be more apt for describing uint.

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

0 + natural numbers = uint; I was taught that whole numbers = 0 + natural numbers

JETZero3

Oct. 26, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) Alectric, if I am not mistaken, the set of whole numbers is {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}, which uint (unsigned integer) denotes. Type int includes negative numbers.

Under rating threshold (show) Gregory, you should fix the bug that makes antivirus software won't heal the character, and please keep updating this great game, 5/5 for you buddy

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

Under rating threshold (show) At the end of the elite training zone: "You might have finished this path, but true me, your quest is just beginning." ...should be 'but trust me'.

Alectric

Oct. 26, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) int (not uint) denotes the set of whole numbers. You might want to use that as a more concise description of the integer type.

Alectric

Oct. 26, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) "Those of you with a math background will recognize uint as being the set of whole numbers" ...I think you mean 'natural numbers'.

Under rating threshold (show) 10/5, should make more. I love games and puzzles that teach you how to program. Games are the most fun way to learn in my opinion. It's too bad there can't be a game for every subject. :P

Under rating threshold (show) In "Logic Operators part 4" you can drop the 'if'(and the apostrophe) from "Look at the statement, and determine if its value by typing true or false."

Under rating threshold (show) Surprise screen needs an update. The code is not: private var SURPRISE_SCREEN:String = ("You finished " + gameName + " version " + versionNumber + "!!!") In normal comment form. Surprise starts with: You finished Programmer RPG version 1.0!!! Instead it should starts with this for version 1.2: You finished The Programmer RPG version 1.2!!!

+ - !

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

that's just a static string :) saving version type in a variable is a great idea though!

Under rating threshold (show) I really liked this game, but all of my data erased :P I will probably restart, but I will do so begrudgingly...

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

thanks for restarting. sorry your data was lossed. did you delete cookies?

Oct. 26, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) Also, "increment variableName down by one (subtract one from it)" should really say "decrement variableName by one ..."

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

should be fixed in next update, thanks

Under rating threshold (show) 5 stars. I want to see more games that teach programming, and I think it'd be a cool way to learn anything really. I think games can make learning an addictive and fun experience!

Under rating threshold (show) Why did my progress disappear? i saved before i retuned. i guess icould use the extra practice, but its still kind of a pain i was in the logic area..

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

sorry. save data is stored in a cookie. did you delete cookies?

trashantboy

Oct. 26, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) Decent tutorial for new people. But you should have more than one option for somethings. For instance, make it possible to use += instead of var = var + number. That kind of thing

Oct. 26, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) Ok I think I've found a glitch... Part 1 of variables and math... 10 plus 20 is thirty, thirty divided by two is 15, but I've got it in, and it's the right format, but it's not excepting the answer...
