Under rating threshold (show) People are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for college educations. Meanwhile this game teaches more, faster and better than any class I've ever taken. 5 stars and if this dude doesn't win the monthly contest then I don't want to live on this planet.

Under rating threshold (show) Let's be honest, the gameplay is outclassed by many fantastic games on kongregate, but as a teaching tool, there are few that can compare. Really well done, I had a fun time learning and that is a reward I value more highly than any getMedal. I would definitely look forward to an expansion. If you are not already getting paid to teach, you should consider it, mr. dev.

congratulations, you broke my game and I have no idea how. As a consolation, have some cake: trace("CAKE");

Under rating threshold (show) as a programmer myself (mostly Fortran), i just say this game is actually really good. Acually it seems like most basic informatic class, with the rpg feature. Good job

Under rating threshold (show) I quite enjoyed the game in terms of learning the coding, you made it pretty easy to pick up on things, but the scaling of the fights seemed too little, made it really easy to win.

I actually nerfed them for the release fearing that people wouldn't like grinding.

Under rating threshold (show) Uhm greg fallennn's problem still exist in some of the levels. Just a heads up. Incredible game though, you must continue it. Learning more about programing has just become a must to me after I started playing this game. 5 stars, favorite and on my playlist. And thats because I normally dont even rate games.

Under rating threshold (show) Excellent job. Let's make a small app called, 'double the user's number and add 1.' Create a variable named userInput, of type Number, and set it equal to 50. 'private var userlnput:Number = 50;' doesn't work in the right of passage

Under rating threshold (show) This was really easy considering I'm in my 5th year of my computer engineering degree, but I still played through it to see what exactly it covered. I think this would be very helpful for people who want to start programming or are curious about programming because it's basic and explained well. It also uses a language that is very similar to a lot of other languages, so transitioning from this game to programming languages besides ActionScript 3 (which I've never used personally) wouldn't cause much of a shock. I'm saving the link in case I meet a future wanna-be programmer who wants a bit of an introduction :)

Under rating threshold (show) I just have one insight, to an otherwise amazing game; in the training centers, it kinda gets annoying when u keep switching between not making the player put a semicolon at the end of their answer, and other times making them...i realize it's because soemtimes ur not making them enter code, but i think consistency is better than making sense sometimes, because i find myself forgetting the semicolon, wondering why, then realizing the fact that it's actual code i'm writing and, by that time, already ate up a chunk of health, so if u could help in that area it would be much appreciated!

Under rating threshold (show) Nice, except when it doesn't pass the god damn hint level because the first time you click hint it takes health on top of the health that was taken earlier when you TELL us to do a wrong answer and then you click the hint button again, at a loss for what to do, and get a god damn unfair ragequit. Nice, real nice.
