    does your computer play up a bit? If it does keep on trying and then tell someone who is good with computers. from sugarlump

    You don't need a Mac to use Hackety Hack - it will work on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

    When you click 'lesson' (lightbulb), you get the right-side of the window showing the Lesson text right? And the Lesson Titles (1,2,3,4) on the left.

    If you want to type your own code, also click on the 'editor' (white page) icon and the 'A New Program' will be shown on the left side, and the Lesson text on the right.

    Be sure to start with Lesson 1: A tour of Hackety Hack (also here ) as it shows what all the icons mean.

    Hackety Hack (and ruby which is the language it uses) is very picky with spelling and some characters, so read the Lessons carefully.

    Cheers
