Hunting for Gems: Coding Challenges For Treasure Hunters

Description

​What's this? You've found a map that looks like it leads to buried treasure! 👀

​But wait... There's something off about this map. It looks as if someone has torn it in half.

​There's no telling where the path leads. You flip it over and in crude handwriting, you make out an address scribbled along with a note:

​"709 N 2nd St — Only the bravest will embark on this journey to find the rare ruby"

​Will you brave the unknown to discover the hidden treasure? You'll need the other half of the map to begin, and there's only one place to go…

​Join devs from PHL Code Club & Philly.rb at the Indy Hall Clubhouse for a programming adventure that will shiver your timbers and reward your coding skills. 

​How it works 📜

​You and a teammate will work together to solve a series of coding challenges (We will randomly pair attendees to encourage collaboration with new faces)

​Each challenge you solve will reveal a trail of “gems” that lead you to a secret treasure hidden at Indy Hall.

​If you're familiar with Advent of Code, this will feel familiar. For those who are new, we’ll help you get started!

​You'll need to leave your agentic coding swarm at home for this one. The spirit of the challenge is solving the problems through collaboration and grit!

​What gems will you uncover, matey?
