I can’t speak for anyone else, but I think that Jens does a great job of coming up with the challenges that he does. To me scripting is more than just accomplishing a real world task, it is a challenge of the mind.
I am the kind of person that takes a challenge like a dog would take a bone, I don’t like giving it up. I don’t think I am a great scripter, but I do think I get a little better every time I try.
There might be solutions on the web somewhere but I try to expand the way I think by forcing myself to come up with an original way of accomplishing the task.
I don’t think it matters what the challenges are called, but I do think that they help us grow in our abilities to script. KiXGolf does not really promote the best way to script,
I think it is more about the challenge and the least number keystrokes. I think that Doc has the right idea for scripting beginners, teaching a more proper way of scripting.
I think there is a varied level of experience for all the users of this forum, and having a mid level challenge would be good as well.
