Under rating threshold (show) Amazing Game! I even sent the link to my teacher who is... well teaching us HTML 5 right now... He is just learning to code too lol... its a new class. I learned a lot. Especially how to actually use Boolean values and all that. Microsoft Visual Studios C# didnt even teach me as much as you have lol

Under rating threshold (show) Basic Variables part 9 should really allow for "myNumber += 100;" for those of us who are lazy and know better. ;)

Under rating threshold (show) I already knew how to program before starting this game but I STILL love it even though I knew all the answers! I recommended this game to my little brother who has wanted to learn to program for a while now. I think this is the perfect way for him to learn because not only does it teach basic programming extremely well, it is also fun which makes it much easier to learn. Great job and I can't wait for the update!

Under rating threshold (show) i would like the arena to be more like making programs and less like having the last weapown avalible. What about some kind of puzzles? where you have to drag some lines into the correct order for the program to work. You can still need some items to see the full lines but yeah... something a lit less generic for the arena :) Good game so far i will give you a whopping 4/5 since you are so active on it. hope to see more updates ;)

Under rating threshold (show) I resume the game, it remembers which levels I played, and all my upgrades, but loses my computer and levels... Re-playing levels for lower rewards sounds tedious...

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

That's weird. I'll look into that. I hope that the problem isn't related to me releasing updates. I might not be able to help you an individual basis though. Sorry.

Under rating threshold (show) Actually- this concept could make a really cool MMO where the more you learn/know the higher level your character will be and the more stuff they'll have. Hell- I can picture a school doing something like this for classes.

Under rating threshold (show) I actually really like this way of learning. @DEV: I think it would be really cool if you could buy a house/car/etc with your money as you become a better programmer in-game! That would be cool.

Under rating threshold (show) This may have come to your attention but i have found a bug in the game possibly. After buying the Anti-Virus software it lets me upgrade it and the price to upgrade increases the more i hit plus but even though the upgrading price increases, the anti-virus strength remains at 0.

+ - !

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

That's because upgrading it increases the probability that it heals you but doesn't do any damage.

Under rating threshold (show) This touches on some really good concepts, yet is simple enough that a kid could follow it. You could write something similar with more diverse characterization and more advanced concepts, and release it as full-on educational software. Possible features: LAN Arena so the kids can fight each other. Internet Arena, customizable by the instructor. Reward Animations for doing a good job or Arena victories (In 3D!) BGM of some sort. But whatever you do, have fun.

Under rating threshold (show) There is a curious bug (though I fully exepcted it, lol) where when the game asks you to do something to ThisOneVariable you can operate with " This One Variable" and still pass the test (naturally that's not something AS3 would let you get away with)

Under rating threshold (show) No I have zero rage quits. It even says so on the statistics page...I'm currently at 339 sections out of 350 by the way.

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

That's really bizarre. Sorry I can't be more of a help. My only advice is to try to complete the last Conditional Junction Rite of Passage again.

Under rating threshold (show) Hi Gregory. Awesome game! I've been coding for a while now (not that much ActionScript though), but even though I found them a bit easy, I still played till the end. Keep up the good work! Crossing fingers for some more advanced lessons soon.

Under rating threshold (show) I completed every area, yet the game says I have not completed all sections. Am I just missing something or is there something actually wrong?

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

I do not know. Sorry :( There's 350 sections. Did you ragequit at the end of the last rite of passage?

Under rating threshold (show) I really don't have that much patience. You should try to be more concise and cut out extra "noise". There's not a good pace to it.

Under rating threshold (show) (update spoiler alert) Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback and support! I've quickly lost the ability to respond to everyone's comments while spending time updating the game. So I'll do 10 minutes of comments per night. Also, if you find a typo in a lesson, the best way to tell me where is to post: An error in Part 3/6 Basic Arrays. In line 5 you are missing a closing bracket. Thanks again!

Also, please don't "report game bugs." Send me a PM instead.

variableName = variableName + 1650; Don't forget the semicolon like I always do!

aattss

Oct. 23, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) I like it, but it needs to be better. For example, saying characterIntelligence = 1650 + characterIntelligence; didn't count as correct, nor did characterIntelligence += 1650 work. There's a bunch of other problems with this too. Fun though.

Developer response from GregoryCarlson

I agree it's a pain, the problem is that there's no easy around this unfortunately.

Under rating threshold (show) I have been looking for a program to teach home schoolers to program. I just found it. I will continue to follow the progress of this game or as I finish it, maybe I will build my own for other languages.

Great, thanks! It's ironic that I might be making my own competition. Good luck!

Under rating threshold (show) I'm a graphics snob, normally. And this game has the worst graphics of any game I've ever played on Kongregate for more than a minute and a half. And yet I gave it five stars. This is an incredible game.

Under rating threshold (show) In part 10/11 Basic Variables you have forgot the ";" by yourself. So the var CharacterIntelligence wouldn't be declared ;) Give it a + so the dev. will read it.

I saw it and it should be fixed in next update. Thanks

Under rating threshold (show) The only thing I found a little weird about this game is on part 2/7 of Variables and Math. In the question, it takes you to take a guess and scroll down. I entered "7", which wasn't the actual answer even though it was correct. So I lost some of my health for that. :P

Under rating threshold (show) Great game. Played through it in one sitting (it was a nice general programming refresher, and I learned a little ActionScript syntax). It would be really nice if the focus was automatically placed in the text box when you started a level, though.

Under rating threshold (show) REALLY NICE GAME, you should put some kind of "back" button ´couse some times u get into a tutorial u allraedy did and u have to ragequit ur chareceter or finish the tutorial again to go back.

I will that on my list of potential ideas. Right now though, I'm go to try to write more sections.

Under rating threshold (show) Wow... such a great game. Please finish it!!! I was wondering though, do you have to go through all the making of the fights, with them having no relation to what you teach us. I found them too boring so i still had $550k at the end
