Though the progress with OpenAbbey is quite far from being fast, something is going on :)
I invite you to have a look at the new feature - or rather, new type of problems.

Currently just 2 of them:
Such problems have small "game-like" area - really, some primitive game in javascript - but lacking some small part
of implementation. And the goal is to create missing fragment of code (in Python
) so the game works properly.
Note: these can be tried without registering using Test
button - registration is only needed to use Verify
button and save solution.
Here is obvious drawback - the solution can be written in Python only. However required code fragments are supposed to be small and Python is the most popular language at CodeAbbey (and I believe - in education worldwide) - so hopefully the advantage of being able to code in the more "playful" manner may balance this.
As this stuff uses Python implementation in JavaScript and works in-browser, there could be compatibility issues. Supposedly it works in Chrome and in Firefox. There are still improvements to be done - for now known issues are:
so feel free to tell about other troubles which may be encountered.
