Fun idea to gameify some programming problems. I think the explanatory animations are great and give it an extra level of polish. I would gladly play through more levels of this.

My one line Python solutions (spoilers)

level1 = lambda s: ‘’.join(filter(str.isupper,s))
level2 = lambda s: f’{[*({*range(max(n:={*map(int,s.split())}))}-n)][1]}’

Thanks, and nice solutions! I was thinking of pursuing this idea and putting it on steam, but not sure how many people would want to pay when there are tons of free options available.

If I do pursue this and you want to know when I have more levels available, you can join my discord server for my games/ content:

A very interesting idea for a game!

Very original for a game jam entry. Although I can't imagine the protagonist finding a sheet of paper with thousands of characters on it. It's going to take him a long time to copy everything into his IDE!

If they were able to write a program for this, they probably have some form of optical character recognition ;-)

Nice idea

A fine idea, codewars katas surely need some story.

Can't wait to play more levels!

Cool, gamifying some entry level leetcode problems.

Nice work!

Developer

Thanks! I'm planning to add more levels where things get harder/ more interesting

That's a really nice idea. I hope you make more levels later on.
