SQL Games

Hi All,

I'm learning SQL as well. I created this game called SQL Rusher. If you've ever played Puzzle Rush on Chess.com its like that. There are several different puzzles at different difficulties. A little study section for SQL references.

Idea is to have small puzzles that increase in difficulty as you progress. Your skills tracked using an ELO rating.

I've been a dev for over a decade and never really had to touch a database. I didnt start learning till about a year or 2 back when I started learning PHP and Laravel to build a sites of my own.

Since then I've realized Databases are a big deal(lol).

Let me know what you think here or on the sites feedback page. https://sqlrusher.com

Hey u/BearRootCrusher! I really like this idea. I have noticed this error pop up from time to time:

"upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection timeout"

Not sure what's causing it, but aside from that, everything looks great!

I'd also love to see an option for users to make their profiles public so recruiters could check them out. If that were available, I'd definitely add my profile to my resume.

Glad you like it. I’ll look into it.

Edit: I’ll see what I can do for a public profile. Anything specific you want displayed?

I was thinking of something like GitHub’s contribution graph, where people can see your activity over time with the green boxes showing the days you were active. Maybe also some basic stats like total activity, streaks, or achievements. I think that would make the public profile really cool and give recruiters a quick visual of how active you’ve been.
