V3 Badges

Exercism will have badges from v3. This file lists what's going to be there!

Feel free to PR new Badge ideas to the "To be implemented" bit of this file. We're keeping the "Rejected" things to avoid multiple PRs and the "Under Consideration" for things where we've discussed it as far as we can and it's down to the Product Team to decide.

Also feel free to suggest changes to the badge names if there is something obviously better (in your opinion!) or in some way offensive.

Implemented

These are in the codebase.

  • Rookie: Submit first iteration

To be implemented

These will be in the codebase. They're unordered.

  • New Year's Resolution: Submit a solution on January 1st.
  • Die unendliche Geschichte: Submitted at least 10 iterations to the same exercise, no duplicates. (https://www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/files/styles/1140x640_hero/public/neverending-story.jpg)
  • All your base are belong to us: Solved the "All Your Base" exercise.
  • Whatever: Solve Bob
  • Lackadaisical: Solve bob in five languages
  • Team builder: Create a team with 3 members
  • Teammate: Give team feedback to 5 solutions.

To be implemented - but involve more code/effort

  • Back In Town: Login after T time without activity away (Requires last (not current) seen logging which might already be in Devise)
  • Early Bird: Submit a solution before breakfast (~6am, local time). (Required local timezone storage)
  • Docker: Have a Docs PR merged (How do we automate this? Webhooks listening to certain dirs?)
  • Badger: Suggest a badge that is added to the website (How do we automate this? Probably manual?)

May be implemented by the community

These badges will be implementable by PRs from the community nearer the time of v3 launch. We will announce when the repo is open for those PRs.

  • Wednesday Warrior: Only submit solutions on Wednesdays for 4 consecutive weeks

Under Consideration

  • Streaked: Solve at least one exercise a day X days in a row
  • Purgatory: Write a solution which triggers an execution timeout.
  • Knuth Reward Cheque: Report an error in an exercise.

Rejected

  • Anything to do with streaks longer than 5 days. We don't want to encourage people not to have days (or weeks) off.

Unsorted ideas

A collection of unsorted ideas. Move one of these into "To Be Implemented" if you'd like to see it end up in the app:

  • Submit a {docs|exercise creation|testsuite update} PR
  • Review more than X PRs
  • Open more than X issues
  • Submit more than X iterations for one exercise
  • Find a bug in an exercise and report it
  • Create an exercise from scratch
  • Livestream solving an exercise
  • Counterspy: Change a privacy preference
  • Manage to submit a PR that passes all checks on first try
  • Submit a solution after being inactive for X days, X > 6 months
  • Night Owl: Submit a solution after midnight (but before ~5-6am)
  • Find a bug in the programming language/implementation while solving an exercise and report it
  • Code golf: Reduce the length of a solution by more than X% relative to the first iteration
  • Managed to collect more than X number of emoji on a post in Slack
  • More than two lines of iterations on an exercise (so more than 10, I think?)
  • Longest (friendly) debate on a submitted PR
  • Coffee Rush: Submit N solutions in a single day.
  • Hello World: Start a track, submit a solution and be approved in less than T time.
  • Hackathon badges

  • Mentored first 1000 (don't like Royalty, but Deity is problematic too)
  • First Contribution to Repo
  • Tag some exercises as "easter egg" exercises (at random, or of a certain difficulty level, or....??) - when a student completes these, they get special 1-time easter egg badges.
  • Tag some student solutions as "easter egg" solutions - when a mentor completes mentoring these, they get a special 1-time easter egg badges.

  • Cheering Section
