Hi all,

Day off whoop!

In regard to Exercises. I was thinking along the lines of interactive online exercises.

http://www.segfault.co.uk/exercise1/ <= Is a real quick and dirty mockup. Type any coffeescript into the top to run it.
e.g.


I intend having fixed code which is uneditable, and you have to add functionality to it (You'll be given a list of objects, events etc).

A quick demo of something in coffeescript and HTML5 that i put together inline with exercises. Images from an old game called "Marsquake".

Currently just class and sprite testing at the mo, but the little blue guy should move around.

What do people/weezl think?

Interesting. I must find some time to look at HTML5.

Interesting idea indeed.

This might limit the exercises exclusively to mechanics that are reproducable through browser supported features though, but nontheless quite nice.

A low entry to market, to teach as much as possible.. Can you think of anything that might be limited or not work?
