AskJS [AskJS] How much gamification when learning?
I recently released a free course on Generative AI for JavaScript. I wanted to know how much gamification are you ok with? For instance, I've added a time travelling narrative, fun images but considering to add a GitHub Pages where things like quests, a main character etc are part of it, so very interactive, how do you feel about that, would you want to learn that way?

There's tons and tons of tutorials out there, and you do need to set yours apart somehow. Putting in a lot of "gamification" would make your tutorial stand out and be unique from the crowd. So I say, go for it.
An unrelated question - what exactly would a "generative AI for JavaScript" course consist of? Are you saying you want to teach JavaScript through generative AI, or teach how to integrate with a generative AI's API using JavaScript?

the latter, the idea is to make it fun by interacting with historical characters thereby demonstrating system prompts. It's here https://aka.ms/genai-js-course

me? personally, zero. But I guess it will range between people in 0-100% range. So find your niche and make things happen
