> By design, you should be open "IDE" chest to get enough gold to go to Git Island. Didn't you open that chest?

I now see there was a circle with a key that I was supposed to press to open the chest and get the gold. It wasn't obvious and since it didn't hinder progression I didn't realize like I had/should/could click that.

> ``` I'm learning programming in a game, come to JavaIsland coordinate (BJ, 94), open the chest with my invitation code 5ZwPT6OWwipmHRG, you and me can both get 500 gold. Join me at ByteLegend https://bytelegend.com ! ```

Where was I supposed to find this text?

> When you do the challenge, you actually create a pull request on github. There's some comments in the pull request telling you what's the issue in you code. However, I shouldn't have told you this if this is a well-desgined game UI. Thanks for the feedback!

Nothing in the PR comments indicates there is anything wrong:

"Your answer is being tested by CI. Click here to see more details."

"Congrats! Your answer passed our CI test. I will merge the pull request for you. Please keep challenging and enjoy programming!"

I could only find the issue by clicking one of links for details and looking into the "check problems with code" logs to find that commit was missing a new line at the end of the file. Seems unlikely a programming beginner would look that far without being prompted.

Thanks for the feedback. There's actually a bug in bot-commenting code so the issue was missing in PR comment. It should be like this: https://github.com/ByteLegendQuest/java-fix-index-out-of-bou...

I'll fix.

It's like a promotion code, you should get the invitation code from someone else, like friends. It's a bonus, not a necessity for the game.
