Have you completed the Javascript workshops already? Had a dabble in the PHP stuff. Feel like you’ve surpassed Skywalker and feel ready to be a Jedi Master? Then join Team Obi-Wan!

(translation for the Star Wars-ically challenged: there’s some additional cool material you can do if you like!)

If you have completed workshop 4 of Javascript, and don’t fancy (or have already done) the PHP stuff from the Solo group, there are some extra challenges you might like to try your arm at:

• The board games challenge asks you to write three games – Hangman, Tic Tac Toe and Connect 4. See if you can not only get the game mechanics working, but also detect winning and/or losing states plus the capability of restarting the game. You might want to start with Tic Tac Toe, as your solution to the last Javascript exercise is your starting point for that.
• The image viewer challenge asks you to write a simple Javascript application that lets the user navigate and view images from thumbnails
• Want something a bit more abstract and already have programming experience before coming to KU? Why not try Object Oriented Programming in Javascript?

Now man your ships. And may the Force be with you!
