PROGRESS for Arcade Mode

Monday 1/22/17:

Tim:

• @:
  • Gulp v4 broke a lot of things that need fixing.
  • Running test via webworker does not work in dev, but works in prod build.
  • Random unit tests are failing.

Thursday 6/29/17:

Tim:

• @:
  • QOL change: Users want to press back to return to the menu, but instead end up leaving the site altogether.
    1. A prompt is needed on pressing the back button as to not lose all progress.
    2. Client-side history management is needed.
    • Considerations:
      • history.pushState
      • react-router

Monday 6/26/17:

Tim:

• Progress:
  1. Add challenges:
  • Circles of given radius through two points
  • Closest-pair program
  • 24 game
• @:
  • 24 game benchmark takes 40s due to inefficiency of solution.
  • Empty benchmarks generate an empty array, which outputs an error to console.
  • Scrolling quickly on the CodeMirror editor causes the window to change in size during the event.

Friday 6/23/17:

Tim:

• Progress:
  1. Add challenges:
  • Averages--Mode
  • Averages--Pythagorean means
  • Averages--Root mean squares

  2. Add raw files back to version control due to unknown API rate limiting.

Wednesday 6/21/17:

Tim:

• Progress:
  1. Continue improvements on RosettaCode task extraction/processing script.
  • script only fetches from endpoint when raw/ dir nonexistent. Use --force otherwise.
  2. Remove raw files from version control.
  3. Update challenges to current task processing output.
• @:
  • Make cache busting update to latest on first page load instead of the second refresh.

Tuesday 6/20/17:

Tim:

• Progress:
  1. Further improve upon RosettaCode task extraction/parsing script.
  2. Add Google spreadsheet to keep track of and make notes of task conversion process: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b_wMIaKR-gA0tD6ADQfDjDT5BBWaUsQyIPP0TS6o7is/edit?usp=sharing
  3. Add 24 game challenge (WIP).

Friday 6/16/17:

Tim:

• Progress:
  1. Add MathJax for mathematical equation rendering.
• @:
  • main.bundle.js failed to fetch in a different environment; displays old version despite updates. Cache refreshed and pushed still required two page refreshes to resolve to current iteration.
  • Static copy of MathJax currently unusable due to its use of non-strict mode code. Currently serving from cdnjs, which involves the possibility of retrieval failure during offline sessions.

Wednesday 6/14/17:

Tim:

• Progress:
  1. Update workflow to auto generate Rosetta JSON from proper dir.
  2. Rework first RosettaCode task into Rosetta challenge - 100 doors.
