Outstanding. I learned the Flex layout by playing this simple game: https://flexboxfroggy.com/ (from the same author I believe). I wonder if there are examples of learning through playing a game that are as effective as these two.

This is awesome! Clearing some of the challenges without having to Google for the right selector feels good =) Congrats to whomever made it.
If you don't know how to contact the author, open an issue to say thank you. FOSS developers don't get enough love.
I've just done it. You're right.
The instructions are at the side (at least for me - Firefox mobile ;) )
http://www.flexboxdefense.com/ is great too. Very similar look and feel as flexboxfroggy.
I'm excited to come across these! Learning through gaming is great. This is how I was able to get as far as I have using VIM: https://vim-adventures.com/ I hope there are more out there!
Slime forest adventure has somewhat worked for me in the past as a flashcard game for Japanese.
