What It Is

Javaball is a free open source web application inspired by Javabat by Nick Parlante. It tests students with practice Java programming questions, and offers real-time feedback of their code, immediately showing them their errors, both syntactical and logical.

Each question consists of a prompt, some example outputs, and a method signature. A student will then complete the method body, and click "Save and Run". Their code is then automatically compiled and tested against predefined test cases, and the results are presented to the student.

The questions teach students to think logically through simple problems, and implement them programatically, while the immediate feedback teaches them some of the common mistakes in programming, and gives them practice debugging their code.

For more information, please review the features or screenshots.
