My main concern is that it doesn’t add to spinney time.
Right, I’ve done some thinking (and build half the thing out). We’re going to have ~6 standard trophies that are the same on every track. We’ll then support up to 6 custom trophies per track. However, as these are work to make for me/erik (20mins per trophy), I’d rather we didn’t introduce 408 extra trophies (6 * 68 languages), so if we can get some generic groups together as people have been suggesting, that’d be great. And I want these to be things that enhance the student’s learning experience rather than just being playful.
That said, a lot of the fun, playful ideas in this thread should probably become badges! (e.g. “Geometer” probably isn’t language/learning-specific enough to count as a trophy, but it sounds like a great badge (I could be persuaded otherwise btw - but as an instinct)).
Bob’s already eyeing up getting so many trophies that it breaks the system
What about a bug hunter badge?
Some exercises changes in one way or another after they are submitted, this could be seen as a requirement change in the real world, or a bug, as you tests might not run green anymore.
So if someone revisit an exercise and make it tests green again, after x-times, they could get rewarded with this badge.
