| In **Challenge Mode**, your ship will fly through a different stream of asteroids, but you won't be able to see what happens and you won't be able to edit your code during a run. This mimics what it might be like to actually send an AI probe into space; you can't be beside it to watch what happens first-hand, but you can get some reports back from its sensors. The asteroid field in Challenge Mode has a fixed length (24 Challenge Zones). Your progress will be shown on-screen, and your high scores will be saved when your ship meets its end or when you successfully complete a run. | In **Challenge Mode**, your ship will fly through a different stream of asteroids, but you won't be able to see what happens and you won't be able to edit your code during a run.

| The Code Window is your main interface to the game. While it supports the functions of a basic text editor, we **highly** recommend that you __write your code in an external editor__ (Notepad++ for Windows and Coda for Mac are both pretty good) and paste the code in for execution. To do so, use the Paste button at the bottom right of the Code Window. //Browsers can crash at any moment, so make sure your code is safe on the outside!// | The Code Window is your main interface to the game.
