📜 Level 13 Tic Tac Toe is a non sequitur #5516

Closed t1u1 closed 1 month ago

t1u1 commented 1 month ago

This exercise in level 13 asks students to debug some code which has concepts that haven't been introduced earlier:

The idea of indexing into a list. The syntax of list at random has been introduced, but list at number hasn't
The idea of mutating values inside a list

While observing students trying to solve this, I found them very confused.

PS. Thanks for creating this excellent project :pray:

Hi @t1u1!

Thanks for the kind words! We were aware too and this adventure is now moved to level 16 with more explanation:

That's great! I see that this adventure is now broken down into smaller parts and with detailed explanations too! :+1:

Thanks again!

PS: Is there a changelog or announcement of what has been deployed to the website? It would help me decide whether students need to redo some levels.
