Online JavaScript Hacking Game. How do you Rank?

The idea is fun but it's really not user friendly at all. I spent like 10 minutes in order to find out how to edit the examples, save them and run them.

I'm not a vi user so I had trouble knowing how to use :w and :q. Also, what's up with the big I/O button that does nothing?

I on the other hand am a vi user and the fact that :w and :q were the only commands totally annoyed me. Why even say it's vi?

This is cool, though.

The vi commands are backwards. w: should be :w - at least they're backwards in the instructions, I'm not quite sure as in my banging around trying to work it out I got sent back to the auto screen.

Yeah, I wonder if it wouldn't be insane for me to replace that with a 'save' button'. Or, to at least have an optional save button. I understand where you're coming from.

At least have some feedback that :w worked, or :q! for unsaved work. Lost changes a few times figuring out how to save...
