Arcade Mode Meeting recap
Hi Arcade Mode contributors,
We decided to put the notes from August 3rd's meeting here for the benefit of everyone who couldn't make it.
Meeting recap:
@timolawl @tpoikela @codyseibert and @jvallexm and I met on Hangouts for 80 minutes to discuss the current state of Arcade mode.
In addition to Arcade Mode itself, freeCodeCamp is working on an Interview Prep section that will eventually feature:
- thousands of additional algorithm and data structure challenges
- thousands of multiple choice questions about technology
- hundreds of "take home assignment" projects with working examples
These additional algorithm and data structure challenges will also be used in Arcade Mode.
@tpoikela said that about 50 Rosetta Code challenges have been ported over to Arcade Mode, along with about 15 original challenges that he and @timolawl have created.
We talked about Arcade Mode's benchmarking behavior - which we hope to also incorporate into the main freeCodeCamp platform.
Action items:
-
@timolawl and @tpoikela are working to get the Arcade mode challenges exporting into a format we can plug directly into the seed file directory. Then we will use this seed file as the "source of truth" for the arcade mode challenges: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/tree/staging/seed/challenges/08-coding-interview-questions-and-take-home-assignments
-
@timolawl and @tpoikela will also continue getting Arcade Mode ready for a launch as a stand-alone tool that we can publicize.
-
@codyseibert is reaching out to the DailyProgrammer Reddit challenge creators and trying to get written permission for us to be able to convert their challenges into freeCodeCamp challenges
-
@codyseibert is working on incorporating the multiple choice quiz questions into the freeCodeCamp core platform. Here's the current demo: http://fcc-quiz.surge.sh/ And here's the repository that powers this: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/multiple-choice-questions
I'm curious to hear what you all think about this. We'll keep this issue open for the time being for discussion.
At this point, a vast majority of the work to be done involves porting the Rosetta Code and Project Euler problems, creating tests for them, and making sure we get URLs for any missing images and host them somewhere like imgur.com (a lot of the Project Euler problems have equations associated with them)
