About Coding Camp
Opened on 7 May 2021, Coding Camp is a Discord-based community for forum coders over the age of 18. We provide coding challenges and games for all levels of forum coding, from introductory templates to full themes. Our staff are most familiar with Jcink, but we have members from Jcink, ProBoards, ForumActif, SMF, and MyBB — all forum hosts are welcome.
Staff provide coding challenges regularly. Challenges have a list of requirements, as well as a list of bonuses, and a challenge's point value is determined by both the difficulty of the requirements, as well as the specificity of the challenge itself.
All members are sorted into cabins (teams) upon joining, with an option to join our beginner-centric cabin. Cabins compete against each other for our seasonal Cabin Cup.
F.A.Q.
- Can I join Coding Camp? Yes! If you like or are interested in coding, particularly for forums, you're totally welcome to join anytime. We're located on Discord.
- Can I participate without joining the Discord? Unfortunately, no. All of the coding activities are on Discord only.
- What if I run out of steam or need a break? You're welcome to move to our "Friends" role, which removes you from your cabin and hides some of the channels. We highly encourage anyone to do this if they'd like to rest! You can rejoin a cabin anytime. Camp as a whole is meant to be there when you'd like to participate, nothing is required.
- Why is Coding Camp 18+? Setting the minimum age to 18+ means we can have a very basic groundrule for behavior: act like the adult you are. The age has nothing to do with NSFW content. The server as a whole generally has an RPG rating of 2-1-0.
- How do you code on Discord? We don't! We code on whatever platform we prefer (Glitch, Codepen, Jcink, etc.) and share images, gifs, or links with each other on Discord.
