Preparing for a quest

A day or so ago I tried out a single TinkerCAD quest.  I then immediately completed all of them.¹  Frankly, I was kinda shocked they were as fun as they turned out to be.  If you haven’t given this a shot, I highly recommend trying it out.

Some of my favorite video games include what amounts to a learning level.  Your first goal is to complete a simple task using a set of features before really getting into the game.  By the time you’ve completed those simple tasks, you’re basically ready to tackle any of the obstacles in your way.  Many programs include initial help dialogs to point out the various buttons or even a learning mode, but most have you learn by viewing rather than learning by doing.

Given how much fun I have 3D printing, it’s very refreshing to also have a fun way to design as well.
