Frequently Asked Questions

Can I switch learning tracks?

Yes. Go to Settings → Change Track from the Home tab. Your XP and completed lessons from your previous track are preserved, but the content shown will change to your new track immediately.

Does the app work offline?

Yes — all lessons, challenges, and the Python code editor work fully offline. The Leaderboard requires an internet connection to fetch and update rankings.

My Python code isn't running. What should I do?

• Check for syntax errors — the console will show the line number and error type.
• On iOS, the Pyodide engine loads from the app bundle. If it fails, force-quit and relaunch the app.
• Ensure you are not importing libraries unavailable in the bundled runtime (e.g. tensorflow is not available; use scikit-learn instead).
• On Android, Skulpt supports most Python 3 syntax but not all standard library modules. Use math, random, json, and basic I/O.

My progress was reset. What happened?

Progress is stored locally on your device. Deleting and reinstalling the app, or clearing app data (Android), will erase your progress. We recommend periodically noting your XP total for reference. Cloud sync is planned for a future release.

Is the content available in Bahasa Malaysia?

Yes — selected lessons and challenges include BM explanations and BM-language exercises. The interface language follows your device language settings. Full BM content expansion is ongoing.

How is the leaderboard scored?

Leaderboard rankings are based on total XP earned. Students on all four tracks compete on the same global board. You can filter by track to see same-level peers.

Can teachers use this in class?

Absolutely. EGK CodeQuest Malaysia is designed for both self-paced individual use and classroom deployment. For institutional or school licensing (volume discounts, teacher dashboards), please email sales@egkhor.com.my.

What is the Aida character?

Aida is EGK's AI education ambassador — she appears during the onboarding Name step and can be found guiding students through AI/ML content in the university tracks. She is powered conceptually by xAI Grok in the STEM tutor product family.
