Thanks for the feedback! This was a definite learning project for me (main motivation was to learn something about JS web dev) so I've clearly missed that - will have a look at fixing it or as you say at least giving a more informative error.

Thanks for sharing the feedback and giving it a second look!



I'm glad you took that in the spirit it was intended. I'm always afraid of coming across as an asshat, and really tried to not be that way for this comment.

I'll also add, that this is one of my biggest weaknesses as a dev in providing error message in the UX in the exact manner. The code traps for them, but doing anything more than letting the dev know is where I stop as well. Maybe that's why I was keen to go looking for it, as I just finished updating one of my projects in this exact manner. I probably spent just as much time in error handling as I did in writing the code. Others will probably all nod and say "yup". ;-)

FYI, I did try your game in a non-locked down version of my browser, and really enjoyed the creativity of slogging up some SQL. I'm no DBA, and I did learn a few things that I don't typically deal with in my limited usage, so thumbs up all around!


Yea I totally get it - I face a similar challenge when it's something I'm more clued up on.

That is brilliant news that you gave it a try and enjoyed it, even better that you learned something! Thanks again for the time you took to feedback, and the time to follow up!
