Killing rats

So, when you first start learning how to code, it's a little bit boring. Essentially that's tough luck. Soz. You have to learn the basics first sadly.

BUT. Think of this as grinding. Grind to get the EXP to continue your journey. Learning to program is better than doing boring jobs so.... 🤷🏻‍♂️

After you've followed some of the basics, we can quit the tutorial and start the basic missions. Here's some tasks to see what you have learned. If you can't do them, it doesn't matter. Get to where you can first then try and Google the answers. Basically, trying to work out how the hell you do something is part of the fun.
