It doesn't load at all for me... HN effect i guess. But the idea looks like a very nice time waster or argument resolver. I have a co-worker that always has the best theoretical cafe solution to every single bug ever found on any computer program, on this and parallel universes. Would be nice to play this against him and maybe win one or 2. Edit: Looking at the bright side. Most people that up voted the site liked th…
Hehe, never thought of it as an argument resolver but that's a cool idea. One other idea that I have already tried quite successfully was to use this as a technical phone screen tool where you codefight the candidate or ask them to do a few solo modes to see how far they get :)
Sorry, but that's a terrible idea. As a bit of recreational fun, this game is fine for. But judging candidates on their ability to speed read would exclude a lot of very capable developers (as well as potentially land you into trouble under equal opportunity employment laws given the aforementioned bias this games introduces)

I did like it but really wish there was an explanation at the end with the solution (or a solution). Since I don't know what is wrong I don't even know what to search for.
I am not sure if you have categories for the types of problems but dividing them into syntax/logic/easy/difficult/etc and showing your score on those or even compared to others (this might be what signing in does for you but I didn't do that).
I am sure I sound negative but I was impressed. Especially as it's still in progress.
I cannot connect with my Google account because I have an accent in my first name. And I cannot create an account with just my email (it sais "user not found")
That's why authentication through reliable big services like Google is a thing guys. At least they get it right.
Maybe I'm just showing my low IQ, but it takes me 20 or 30 seconds just to understand some of the problems. Maybe introduce difficulty levels? Currently, I can't ever solve a problem if it takes me more than 1 minute - I'd like to be able to get to an answer, even if it's then worth zero points (or even goes into negative points?). I like the idea, but I can't play more than 2 or 3 rounds. Or maybe the game just isn'…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
How about just make it work?
Seriously. I just get a blank Google+ popup after authenticating. When I close the dialog it says it couldn't authenticate. Oh well. Looked like a cool idea.
