Do similar games exist for other languages? I like the concept but my C++ is rusty at best.

- vog 10y agoYes, that would be really great. Also, many quiz items are far away from the specialities of C++. It's stuff like duplicate expressions. Or a variable being subtracted from itself. Or a variable assigned to itself.
- mihaifm 10y agoI agree, this is more of an eyesight test than C++ knowledge test.
- the_af 10y agoBut these are real bugs from real software, which in this case happen to be taken from a corpus of C++ code. The game specifically claims it's not about knowledge of C++!
- iheartmemcache 10y agoStartup idea - Generalize this in a gamified form as a vehicle to assess the caliber of programmers for potential employers. (Hiring is expensive - recruiter bonuses are 5 figures in tech, plus the opportunity cost of lost business if you don't have the capacity to handle growth).
- AndreyKarpov 10y agoInteresting idea. We can give error base ( http://www.viva64.com/en/examples/ http://www.viva64.com/en/examples/ ) for C++ (V501-V762) and C# (V3001-V3105) :)
