In this post I talk a little about the Github Noops challenge and what I plan to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is the Noops Challenge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Github have created a number of challenges that encourage you to create something. Each challenge exposes an API with some options that you can customise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most basic API’s gives you a colour hex code. What you do with that is up to you. On the website they encourage you to experiment with the API’s and use them to try something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They called it Noops after the “no op” instruction that exist in many instruction architectures. This instruction would typically be a placeholder to do nothing. Since the API’s do nothing they called them the Noops challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is my plan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every two weeks I plan to blog about a Noop, at least for the current future posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started work on the Hexbot<\/a> a while ago and have had a look at the Vexbot<\/a> but will be properly publishing the Hexbot in two weeks time. This will give me time to polish it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full list of challenges are on the Github Noops website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
