In 2011 vroeg ik me af wat er zou gebeuren als een programmeervak aanvoelde als World of Warcraft. Daaruit groeide Strokes: een extensie voor Visual Studio die je achievements gaf terwijl je codeerde. De posts hieronder vertellen het verhaal, in het Engels.
The Strokes project is still ongoing and several interesting new features have been added by my Danish friends!
In this post I will humbly and proudly present the Strokes program: achievements-based programming in Visual Studio.
An interlude before I present Strokes: a quick summary of other projects, like PexForFun and Jira Hero, that use achievement-based learning.
In a previous post, I ranted on how cool it would be to use pc-game mechanics in a programming course.
In a previous post I already briefly hinted at this: wouldn’t it be cool to integrate popular pc-game mechanics in classroom labs?
