The Python Challenge is an online programming puzzle. I do think it is possible to solve it without using any programming, but that ruins the fun part. This is a fun way to improve your programming skills. I am just learning python. So, I still don’t know how to do most of the basic things. With each level you learn something new. And while searching for the answer you learn some more. And you learn a lot more from your mistakes too. I do think it is possible to use any language other than python also to find solution. I found myself tempted to use C to find solutions rather than using python. But I stood my ground and sticked to my goal. My goal is to get better in python. I could do it with C but that doesn’t serve the purpose. They should have called it “The Programming Challenge” since there is no rule that you should stick to python and because the puzzle can be used to improve your skills in any language.
I reached level2 which is actually the third level. Crazy guy started counting from 0. There are 33 levels in total.
The game if very simple. The clues will be displayed on the web page. Once you solve the given hints, you’ll know how to reach the next level. Getting to the next level means modifying current level’s URL according to the hints provided. You’ll understand better if you try it.
In short, The Python Challenge is a lot of FUN + some programming + a lot of deductive thinking. If you’ve always wanted to go treasure hunting with real treasure and real clues, here is your chance.
Try it, Have fun 🙂
