I made it so you can click the speed icon in the top right to change the speed. Still not 100% happy with that.

I'll look at #2.

Based on the original tutorial, the feedback was positive with respect to making people think about the answers. help always tells you exactly what to type to move on though.



I do enjoy guessing how to do things; I find it a great way to learn. Thanks so much for creating this -- it's given me a great head start.


I logged into the comments to say the same. I'm absolutely loving the game like tutorial. "Just type stuff till it works" it's fun, you can't really mess stuff up.

My feature requests would include: a) a hint system. if I don't get it three times I'd like to be able to give up. I know it's open for abuse, but I'm a grown man and understand that I'm only cheating myself. end of the day I still want to learn it.

b) a link from each concept to the reference documentation of the function I've just used. So when I've finally used [* $near spoilers redacted*] let me see the actual documentation for $near if that's possible I guess. I'm not sure how complete the Mongo docs are. My reasoning being that I'd like to see the rest of the ways I can use the command.

Short answer: I love the tutorial & thank you.
