Workspaces provided do not allow me to work on things freely. It forces you to stay in certain spaces. I'd love input.

This is not related to particular challenge. Just been going through this alot. I've been following along on another computer so that I can look at the bigger picture and move things around with the freedom to mess things up. Any advice is welcome. Thank you.

The challenges all have specific objectives and instructions, and they must be followed carefully to pass.

But the workspaces are general purpose development environments. You should be able to explore freely there.

Were you getting the two confused? If not, perhaps you could explain in more detail what restrictions you have encountered in the workspaces.

Try js.do, js lint, p5.js and other places to test your code. You get feedback that will help you find your errors. If you are not using Javascript, there are websites for your particular language you are working on. Google will help you find other resources.
