kevmoens / ellabit

The interactive C# coding app to learn/practice coding.

ellabit's Issues

implement the interface segregation principle

Split up the IChallenge interface to smaller interfaces so Challenges only get the properties they need

Create tests for linq queries

Include Blockly editor to cross reference blocks to C#

New Challenge - Use string.Empty for validation

String.Empty when compared will return true if it is null or an empty string ("")
Make a challenge returning a boolean value if the string passed in is equal to string.Empty

Create new challenges for Cryptography

Cover Symmetric and Asymmetric methods and explain why choosing the method.
FIPS compliance

Problem with .tt files

Very nice project. Well done !
I'm getting a problem when I run ad hoc the tt files by right clicking "run custom tool". The generated code gets completely messed up.
Take care

fix display on the bottom of the challenge page

Currently challenges are displayed with the key and value touching.

New set of challenges for Tuples

Create examples using Tuples to show different ways Tuples can be used.

Make a new challenge for checking string.IsNullOrWhitespace

Make a challenge making the user create a function that verifies string input for null or whitespace and returns true if it is the case

Allow tests for a challange to be a class compiled into Ellabit instead of compiling on the fly

Create new property named TestMethods that is a List in IChallenge
If TestMethods is null or have no tests use the TestCode and Tests property to run tests.

Add tags to challenges 60-80

On each challenge there is a property named Tags.

        private Dictionary<string, string> _tags = new Dictionary<string, string>(StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase) { {"Math","Add"}, { "Level", "1" } };
        public Dictionary<string, string> Tags { get => _tags; set => _tags = value; }

Tags describe the type of coding being done in each challenge.
In the code above is describing the challenge uses Math to Add and Level is 1.
You can add as many tags as you like to help describe the challenge.
Add a Level tag to each challenge.
Currently levels are described as:
Level 1 = beginner concept
Level 2 = Use of beginner concept with more detailed knowledge to code
Level 3 = Something that requires in depth knowledge to code
Level 4 = This is a complex challenge that will take more than 10 minutes to code for an advanced developer
Level 5 = This is a senior developer that will take more than 15-20 minutes to code

User creates code that produces an infinite loop

When a user creates code that produces an infinite loop the app crashes or hangs forever.
Find a way to handle this gracefully.
Could use SyntaxTree to put counters in loops and we could check for the count to see if we can throw an error.

Create tests for Regex (Regular Expressions)

Provide a way for challenges to be broken into steps

For larger challenges we should be able to have a IChallengeSteps interface which has a property List.

Each IChallengeStep has a Description, and TestCode and Tests
FYI future may have tests that check console output or syntax trees.

Create new example.
Add questions and notes below.

New Challenge - Create string that requires an escape character and/or literal string

Create a challenge that has the user create a string that would require using an escape character and/or literal string

Notes from Microsoft Learn

• Use character escape sequences when you need to insert a special character into a literal string, like a tab \t, new line \n, or a double quotation mark ".
• Use an escape character for the backslash \ when you need to use a backslash in all other scenarios.
• Use the @ directive to create a verbatim string literal that keeps all whitespace formatting and backslash characters in a string.

Example
Console.WriteLine("Hello "World"!"); --fail
Console.WriteLine("Hello "World"!");

Console.WriteLine("c:\source\repos"); --fail
Console.WriteLine(@"c:\source\repos");
Console.WriteLine("c:\source\repos");

Console.WriteLine("Test\nNew Line");

Add tags to challenges 46-60

Level 5 = This is a senior developer that will take more than 15-20 minutes to code

Allow challenges to examine console output for tests

When creating a challenge I would like the ability to capture output. This would allow challenges to be created so we can tell if a loop was used.

'''Csharp
public void LoopWhile (double material)
{
while(material > 0)
{
Console.WriteLine(material);
material -= 1;
}
}
'''

Consider Monaco for the Code Editor

Create new challenges that use Reflection

Make new challenges that show different aspects of Reflection.

Properties
Methods
Overloaded Methods
Fields
Private vs Public

Create new challenge that would make sense to use a switch statement

At our manufacturing facility we need to calculate lead time based off what type of part we need to create our finished good. A part can be Purchased, Transferred (from another facility of our company) or be manufactured in house at the plant the user is in.

As a challenge pass in a test for each of these types of parts.

A manufactured part has a lead time of 1 day.
A transferred part has a lead time of 2 days.
A purchased part has a lead time of 7 days.

Add Syntax Highlighting

Syntax highlighting determines the color and style of source code displayed.

Add tags to challenges 81-100

On each challenge there is a property named Tags.

        private Dictionary<string, string> _tags = new Dictionary<string, string>(StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase) { {"Math","Add"}, { "Level", "1" } };

Level 5 = This is a senior developer that will take more than 15-20 minutes to code

Enhance UI for Testing Code

Show the test was, what the expected value is and the actual output.
While tests are running show a status.
If possible, use animations to keep user engaged.
