Learning Soldity: Crypto Zombies

Crypto zombies is an application that teaches you solidity, a language used to create Ethereum's ecosystem. It's based on C++, while Vyper is based on Python. So Vyper is debatably a bit easier to code in while solidity offers a few more in depth coding options. The DAPP offers these modules to get you started on your adventure.

The format involves a lesson in text format followed by some simple questions at the bottom of the page that you need to implement while coding. Usually there is only one way to do things, the code checker isn't smart and doesn't run your code, it only checks for similarities between your code and the solution code. This sometimes caused frustrations.

Beyond those introductory modules there are many more modules that you can get involved in.

How good is Crypto Zombies at teaching you solidity?

So I did these lessons as a way of learning during my university break. I had a foundation of C to begin with so it wasn't very challenging to learn. That being said, my skills with solidity are limited practically, which is where the later modules come in control.

Additionally, crypto zombies probably serves you best as a way to produce your own similar Dapp, which is pretty much the premise of the whole tutorial. Change the name zombies to something else, splash in a bit of colour in terms of features and aesthetics, and bam you potentially have yourself a money maker like crypto punks.
