Halloween costumes aside, reckon you're a speedy unicorn-rockstar-ninja coder? Yeah, we thought so. That's why we created Code Racer. Find out just how brilliant and speedy a coder you really are! And in the spirit of Halloween, challenge your friends with your coding tricks and get a treat when you beat them. Let the race begin!

Fun app! any plans to add more stacks?
Maker
Thanks! We'd love to. Got any suggestions?
Maybe swift or react could be some cool additions
Maker
Great ideas! We will add to our lists. We choose to just start with the "classics" first :)
Fun idea! Make the enter key stop the timer so you don't need to grab a mouse or use the trackpad
Maker
Thanks for the feedback Matt! We're on it ;)

I like this but I think coding by nature is more of a design/visualization activity where people spend more time thinking about the underlying processes of their algorithms as opposed to seeing if you can write a small function off by heart as fast as possible which this application seems to emphasize.

Pros:

Fun interaction

Cons:

Not really a coding simulation

Really fun! I can definitely see myself and some of my friends competing for hours
Maker
Thanks, Yoav! Us too. We don't plan on getting much done today 😃
Nice! Turns out I'm a Ninja Rockstar 😃
Maker
hahahaha, keep on practicing and you will be a unicorn in no time! :)
Pretty Fun :) Turns out I need some practice...
Maker
don't we all ;)
Ninja Unicorn, yay! But the anti-cheat engine could use some work, as others seem to hack it, therefore there is no point in trying to be the first :( Other than that, pretty nice game! Other languages like Swift'd be amazing :)
Maker
We love the idea of using Swift'd, we will look into it! 😉
it is really fun! but I think code editors more flexible. I don't know but most of the case, I press curly brackets and parentheses keys sequentially then move the caret one letter to left and write variable name or number etc. When I try, it has counted as an error. I think it would be better if we have to press the space key.
Maker
Really glad you had some fun with Code Racer and thank you for that feedback, we'll consider it 😃
Shame to see some abusing the leader board, by the way do you have to click done after each challenge? Can we just press the enter key? Great concept!
Maker
Thank you! Yesterday there was a bug with the done button but now you can click enter key to complete the challenge.

The Desktop UI is intuitive and simple. Just start typing. I love that!

Pros:

cool game!

Cons:

a little bit buggy

Maker
Thank you for the feedback. We know its a bit rough around the edges, but glad you had fun playing 😉
