QLD takes home all 3 code wars prizes

And wins State of Origin…

Wednesday night was a code wars event arranged as the event before the webdu conference. We won the competition, along with the costume comp and the wooden spoon.

UPDATE: Here are the files for those who wanted them. This was written for speed not structure so please don’t follow them as best practice! The flash one was written purposely nasty to win the wooden spoon award.
