We'll keep working on the RAM needs, but yeah, that is just about the lower limit that I would expect to be able to play the game at all currently. We have a lot of work to do, but don't worry, we'll get it running on older and older hardware as we optimize. Thanks for your patience (and your students').

I've started a GitHub issue to track that coordinate selector bug: https://github.com/codecombat/codecombat/issues/1038 – appreciate the bug report!

Interestingly, we have a 10-year-old who hangs out in our dev chat and helps us playtest and simulate. He actually came up with a strategy that did pretty well on the ladders for this latest one, and we'd challenge our other (existing developer) playtesters to c'mon, surely you can beat the 10-year-old!

Looking to the future, we have some ideas to push that younger and younger, too.

Oh wow. Please tell me he's French (although in an english school). That might be one of my students, he ranked 7 on a multiplayer level!

I might have a go at a few bugs over the summer after I finish my high-school exams.

Oh, which player is your student? Our ten-year-old is American, actually.
