Copilot coding challenges

Welcome to the Copilot Challenge! This challenge is all about learning new concepts and languages by using GitHub Copilot to help you write code. Let's get started!

Choose Your Own Copilot Adventure

1. Enter the Challenge Arena

To get started, enter the "challenge arena" by clicking the button below. This will create a GitHub Codespace that you can work in. Once it loads select the Create codespace button.

NOTE: You can use 60 hours of GitHub Codespaces for free each month.

2. Choose a Copilot Challenge

New to GitHub Copilot? Start with the Warmup Challenge to learn the basics.

Once you've completed the warmup challenge, choose a challenge from the list below:

• Beginner Challenges
  • The Clockwork Town of Tempora
  • The Magical Forest of Algora
• Intermediate Challenges
  • The Celestia Alignment of Lumoria
  • The Legendary Duel of Stonevale
  • The Scrolls of Eldoria
• Advanced Challenges
  • The Gridlock Arena of Mythos

3. Start Coding

Read Your Copilot Challenge description, the high-Level steps to perform, and the GitHub Copilot hints to help you write your code.

• Use GitHub Copilot and/or GitHub Copilot Chat to help you write the code for the challenge. You can use any language you'd like. Try learning a new language if you're up for the challenge (more on that below)!

4. Submit Your Challenge Solution

• Once you've completed the challenge, submit a pull request (PR) to this repository with your solution. Use the following naming convention for the PR title.

  Solution for [Name of Your Challenge]
  

  Replace [Name of Your Challenge] with the challenge name you chose to solve.

• Leave any comments in your code to explain your thought process and show prompts that GitHub Copilot used to help you out.

• If you have any feedback, please open an issue in the repo and share what you found (good or bad). We'd love to hear your feedback!

Next Steps: Learn a New Language or Create a UI for Your Challenge

Once you've completed your first challenge, try it again but this time use GitHub Copilot to complete the challenge using a language that's new to you. For example, if you normally write code in C#, use Copilot to help you solve the challenge using Python or another language you'd like to learn more about.

Try creating a UI for your challenge. Use pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript or a library/framework of your choosing. Let GitHub Copilot/Chat help you out with the UI code. If your UI requires images, consider using Bing Image Creator or another AI image generation service.

Have a Copilot Challenge Idea? Submit a PR!

Do you have a copilot challenge story/puzzle you'd like to submit for others to go through? We'd love to see it! Please submit a pull request to this repository with your challenge and solution.

• Use New Copilot Challenge: [Your Challenge Name] for the PR title. Replace [Your Challenge Name] with the name of your challenge.
• Include if your challenge is at the beginner, intermediate, or advanced level.
• Follow the markdown template used with each challenge in the Challenges folder as you create your challenge.
• Provide an image for your challenge (use Bing Image Creator or another image generator solution).
• Provide a solution using your chosen language. Place all of the code in a single file (to keep things simple) and include it in the PR.

We'll review your submission and merge it into the repo if it meets the criteria.
