Thanks for sharing the koans i really liked them and the readme made me curious about your new project Didacto JavaScript:

If you like JavaScript Koans you might enjoy my newer, more user friendly, project Didacto: JavaScript

But following the link gives me a 502 bad gateway. Is the site just temporarily down or is the project discontinued?

liammclennan commented

Temporarily down. It is fixed now. Enjoy. :)

Thanks a lot!

Two years after, down again ?

Sorry, did it a bit too fast. ;-)

I got a 502 Bad Gateway on the didacto, feels down from everywhere. Is it discontinued or just temporarily down ?

Thanks

liammclennan commented

OK. Thanks. I will fix.

Fixed. What do you use it for, and how did you find it?

JbPasquier commented

We use it for our students, it's a pretty nice interactive introduction. 👍

Do you plan to make it open source ? :-)

liammclennan commented

Happy to make it open source if that would be useful. Would you contribute?

Its easy enough to add new tutorials. They are defined like this:

new entities.Tutorial({
    id: 'comments',
    name: 'Comments',
    questions: [
      new entities.Question({
        id:'singlelinecomment',
        evaluate: function (answer) {
          var results = [],
            isPass = /^\/\/.+$/m.test(answer);

          results.push(new entities.EvaluationResult({
            name:'contains single line comment', 
            state: isPass ? 'pass' : 'fail', 
            message: isPass ? '' : 'have you included a single line comment?'
          }));
          return results;
        }
      }),

      new entities.Question({
        id:'multilinecomment',
        evaluate: function (answer) {
          var results = [],
            isPass = /\/\*[\w\W]+\*\//g.test(answer);

          results.push(new entities.EvaluationResult({
            name:'contains multiline comment', 
            state: isPass ? 'pass' : 'fail', 
            message: isPass ? '' : 'have you included a multiline comment?'
          }));
          return results;
        }
      }),
    ]
  }),

and corresponding view
