Frequently asked questions
Who created PolyGlot Arcade Tutor?
Aarti S Ravikumar created the project. See the citation page for the preferred credit.
What if I do not know how to fill a TODO?
Use Stuck on a TODO? in the lesson panel. It reveals hints one at a time and a worked example without replacing your editor code.
Do Python and Java run in the browser?
No. JavaScript runs in the browser canvas. Python and Java are comparison views with simulated previews and code checks.
Can I play the finished game without completing all lessons?
Yes. Choose Play game from the home screen. The reference game can also be opened from the final lesson.
What is the difference between the two downloads?
Download game saves the completed reference game as a standalone HTML file. Download my code saves the current editor text as a source file.
Can I add another game?
Yes. Add a GameDefinition to the registry. The interface and search guide derive their game lists from it.
