yes, at the moment at least

thanks for understanding woutervdb and for the upvote, would be awesome if you can give it a try now (the HN traffic has calmed down :) ) and let us know what you think -- email info @ codefights.com

everything is in javascript right now

there is actually a workaround right now (not a great one but still). If you go to Forum from the top nav bar then click tasks you can see all of the tasks that you ever got during your codefights.

Hey Daniel, very sorry about that, HN rush hit our unprepared servers :) Just added several new servers so please try again.

sorry about that, way too many people on the site right now :(

Yeap, great point. We currently sync the time with the server regularly to avoid cheating and given that the servers are under HN rush right now the delay is probably way more significant than it usually is. However, we are trying to figure out a better way to do this to make sure it doesn't start counting before the task loads.

Hehe, never thought of it as an argument resolver but that's a cool idea. One other idea that I have already tried quite successfully was to use this as a technical phone screen tool where you codefight the candidate or ask them to do a few solo modes to see how far they get :)

Thank Kenny, we are definitely considering adding a Github auth option.

Hi guys, co-founder of codefights here, the site is still in beta and someone posting it to HN caught us totally off guard. Migrating the servers now to something that can handle this traffic. Appreciate the patience :)

EDIT: OK Servers migrated but it still can't come close to handling HN rush levels. While that's passing I can explain the main concept here.

A task on codefights is a function written in javascript that has 1 bug on 1 line of it and your goal is to find and fix it as soon as you can. There is a Solo mode and a VS Friend mode. In the Solo mode you start with easy tasks and need to find the bug in under a minute, if you do, you go to the next rounds where the tasks progressively get harder.

In the VS Friend mode, you codefight someone else where you guys have 5 rounds facing the same task in each round and each correct solution is 100 points, pass is 0 points and an incorrect answer is -25. At the end of 5 rounds whoever gets more points wins.

Please let me know if anyone has any questions or feedback. Hope you guys will get to try it for real soon :).
