- How do I get my puzzle tested?
- What if I want to test a puzzle?
- When can I move to the testing complete stage?
- I'm done but want to know more
- Talk to your mentor to make sure your puzzle is ready for testing
- Update the puzzle status on the SharePoint to "Ready for testing"
- Go to author mode by following How do I get to author mode
- Check out Puzzle setup to add a new puzzle to the site
- Post the puzzle title and a short description in the
#find-a-testdiscord channel using the!testcommand
Format:!test <INSERT_puzzle_title> | <INSERT_puzzle_description>
In the example below, Kenny finished writing his puzzle called "Go."
He then went to the#find-a-testdiscord channel and typed into the chat!test Go | well, go, actually
The pzl-tester BOT then creates a post that others can react to.
- You can see that people can react with either
- Eyes emoji - they are interested and want to know more about the puzzle before committing. If someone reacts like this, chat with them on discord to let them know what your puzzle is about
- Fish emoji - you got them hooked! They are committed and want to test your puzzle. If this is the case, go on to the next step
- Check out Unlock a puzzle for a team to unlock your puzzle for the person who wants to test it
- Go to the
#find-a-testdiscord channel and react to the puzzle you want to test (see step 5 of previous section to see what eyes and hook emoji's mean) - Wait for the author to unlock the puzzle for you on the site
- Test the puzzle on the site
- Give the author feedback
You will be in the "testing complete" stage if you can get two clean solves. A clean solve is when a tester finishes your puzzle with the correct answer with no input from you and they request only minor/no changes to your puzzle.
