First Level Bug

Solved
1

I came across Code Combat and I thought it was a great idea. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get past the first level. There are no red dots and Tharin does not move at all. Upon opening the code editor for Tharin, an error pops up. I removed this.moveRight(); and had to click on the x button on the error in order to cast. After casting, the only thing that happens is that the error comes back and Tharin says lead me behind the ogre with your magic. Because I cannot do anything, my time eventually runs out. I hope there is a fix for this.

I’m using a registered Code Combat account and have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and Chrome.

Here is a screenshot:

I can confirm this behaviour. Note that you are using lua (you probably clicked the lua button on the main page). It seems the example code in lua is actually javascript, so the lua parser doesn’t like it. I suppose there may be issues with the languages that are not javascript, as they were added very recently. If you really want to write lua, rewrite all the lines of code in terms of the snippets that you see in the bottom right. That is, replace this.moveDown(); by self:moveDown(); etc. Also remove the comments, as comments in lua have different syntax. So start with

self:moveDown();
self:moveDown();
self:moveRight();
self:moveRight();
self:moveUp();

Hope that helps

Yes, if you aren’t in JavaScript or python most of the default code will be wrong. If you are a Lua, Io, or Clojure programmer, you can help fix the problems by adding default code into each of the levels:

I appreciate both of your responses. Unfortunately, there is still a problem.

It seems as though no matter the language that I choose to play in, the default code is always in
JavaScript and the parser is Lua.

No matter what language I choose, this is the default code:

 // This is your code controlling Tharin!

this.moveDown();
this.moveDown();
this.moveRight();
this.moveRight();
this.moveUp();

// Edit it anywhere you like, add comments like these

// Follow the same "this.action();" format
// Code is case-sensitive.

No matter the language, it seems that Lua is only accepted:

self:moveDown();
self:moveDown();
self:moveRight();
self:moveRight();
self:moveUp();

Does my account need to be reset or something? Everything works perfectly when I’m not logged in.

@kingxerxes I just added sample Lua code for the first level. Try clicking the Restart button at the top to get back to the default code:

Then hit the language logo in the spell palette to change your language for this session to whatever you like:

Working any better?

(I still don’t have Lua sample code written for the rest of the beginner campaign–any help is appreciated!)

@nick Thank you! It is working now!
