Interactive Coding Practice
Watching someone explain code is not the same as writing it yourself. Syntax Arena puts you in front of an editor from the start — you read a problem, write your solution, and find out immediately whether it works.
// PRACTICE_MODES
◎
Zen Mode
No timer, no opponent.
Pick a JavaScript problem at Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulty and work through it at your own pace. Every test case is visible, your code runs against real inputs, and you see exactly what went wrong when it fails.

Course Problems
Contextual questions tied to what you just learned.
Each lesson chunk ends with questions about the specific thing you just read — not random exercises. If you got through the Functions chapter, you're answering questions about functions. The feedback is immediate and specific.

Arena Races
Same problem, same timer, two people.
The time pressure of racing someone changes how you think — you stop overthinking and start writing. Time limits go from 60 seconds to 10 minutes. You can race a friend, an AI, or a random opponent from matchmaking.

Daily Puzzle
One problem. Resets every 24 hours.
A new JavaScript challenge every day with a global leaderboard showing the fastest correct submissions. The main value is consistency — showing up and writing code every day.
