Hi everyone - something I’m kicking the tires with is trying out small coding challenges (that I’m calling missions) that people can partake in, post their solution, and get a customized badge for each coding challenge. Here is the first such mission: [Sum Up an Array of Numbers : Coding Mission](https://www.kirupa.com/codingexercises/sum_arrays.htm) Thoughts on this? Anything you think I should change? 🙂 ---

It looks like a good step. I wish it was similar to [https://www.codewars.com](https://www.codewars.com). Perhaps make the posting code snippet into the forum a bit more automated? Drag your files here, which will automatically post the code to the forums. Perhaps some unit tests that confirm the behaviour of your coding mission. ---

I take it that you have to manually assign these badges? Is this something you think would ultimately get automated in some way? ---

It is something I’m doing manually right now, but I am totally down for automating it if the volume of items gets too large 🤖 ---

One thing I’ve realized from adding more of these exercises is that there needs to be a filtering mechanism on the landing page for them. In the interim, I’ll just go with Easy / Medium / Hard. Longer-term, I’ll need to come up with more interesting ways of making it easy to filter through these items.
