Code Trainer

I would like community challenges added before I recommend this to other since it would make this such a more valuable purchase, like kovaacs aim trainer in a sense.

This didn't help me at all!

This practice environment is unfortunately lacking in several ways. For anybody with a basic understanding of programming (especially after the whole disclaimer about "THIS GAME WILL NOT TEACH YOU HOW TO CODE"), the problems are too elementary. The validation is likewise too limited - there's only a few test vectors used for validation, the test vectors themselves are always short, and there is absolutely no consideration for how elegant your solution is. Statistics on your solution like runtime, memory, or even code length (golf, anyone?) would make for an interesting optimization problem (like Zachtronics games). The short test vectors also mean the quick and dirty solution is generally the most effective. Some (but not all) of the "implement X data structure" say not to use the standard library implementation of said data structure, but the validation doesn't actually *check*. Considering how little this game integrates with the languages it allows (Python, C#, JS, Java), not even having intelligent syntax highlighting, I was disappointed that it doesn't allow a wider variety of more interesting languages. Stuff like Rust, Go, Ada, or the classic C/C++. The game also doesn't …

Fun game over all. I couldnt fully say it is fully gamified. However, not all problems require DSA shenanigans, and it is not stressful to do. I had a decent knowledge about DSA, but I had low motivation, so I couldnt bring myself to finish much problems on Leetcode. Now, I use this game as main way of learning DSA mostly when I'm tired, then I use Codeforce to practice more of math and cp (around 1200 rate problems). Finally I can get myself to learn. Thank you very much! This way is pretty rewarding.

The game is fun to play and a great way to practice and improve your skills. It makes learning more enjoyable and helps you get better while having fun.

i love this game. but i am dumb at math. i hope i can actually play this game 2 years later, after i learnt more math and coding.
