Zombies and learning challenges: what more do you need? I’d write more but I haven’t finished it yet. As Tony the Tiger would say “It’s grrrrreat!” So honestly Hackety Hack, what are you thinking making me read words? Plus, I have to install an application that takes space on my hard drive? I don’t think so homey.Ĭlassic learning tool by Codeschool to learn rails. You watch video, a cute cartoon, compete against each other and role-play. Sweet.Īll these interactive tools have me so spoiled. To get to the next floor, you need to write Ruby script for the warrior to battle enemies, rescue captives, and reach the stairs.
