Programs to practice coding

[Sosolol261]

I was bored and didn't know what to code. The current project i am working on, is quite big so I don't want to work on it EVERYtime sooo...

I am searching for REALLY simple but challenging programs.
If you know what I mean..

Thanks for your help

Check out www.codewars.com. It's an interactive problem-solving platform. You choose the programming language and problem and then use the web-based application to write/test your code. You can find problems ranging from the kind that are solved with short one liners to others that need specific algorithms implemented.
It doesn't offer Lua support atm but you can select it as a "please implement this" vote of confidence.

Some are much more difficult than others, but this is a good list.

I'm not quite sure how something can be REALLY simple and challenging at the same time, but this page has some fairly easy examples (using Processing):

I'm having fun with some instant self loading code. So much fun.

Very minimal example.

Code: Select all

 --Put this in main.lua
function love.update(dt)
	main = love.filesystem.load("main.lua")
	main()
end

I think something smart would be like thinking what kind of subsystem your project needs, then choosing a small project out of it. Like lets say I would need to program some AI, I could create another project just to fiddle around how AI should work, and later on when getting back to main project just derivate the one I made to "take time off" from main project.

Also if possible, seeing how your ai would play the game for example, assuming that youre making a game, you might even realise some interesting aspects about your own game, that you never actually thought before.
