[Special Edition] Achievement Unlocked! - Visual Studio Achievement Beta Released

The Discussion

• 

  Just one question: Are you serious? Is this real thing? :O

• 

  People love a challenge.  I love the idea

   

• 

  Awesome, I first read of this here, 

  http://blog.whiletrue.com/2011/01/what-if-visual-studio-had-achievements/

  and was excited that an update mentioned that Microsoft was looking into this. Downloading as I type.

  @CloudManaged:Yep, it's real...

• 

  I want to point out there is an app for both Android, and iPhone as well.

  When the Authentication windows appears on launching VS I get several script errors:

  Line: 2, Char 1, Error: Invalid character, Code: 0, URL: http://channel9.msdn.com/achievements/visualstudio/authorize

  Line: 38, Char 1, Error: 'jQuery' is undefined, Code: 0, URL: http://channel9.msdn.com/achievements/visualstudio/authorize

  When I click on the "Yes! Authorize this!" button I get further errors:

  Line: 62, Char 1, Error: Object Expected, Code: 0, URL: http://channel9.msdn.com/achievements/visualstudio/authorize

  I'm behind a corporate proxy.

  Awesome!!!

  This is awesome. I've already got them all, except Lonely, but I'll have that by Friday night. Which makes me wonder, how will you add more achievements? Will we need to update the extension, or will the extension auto update?

• 

  that's funny - i love it

• 

  I am getting an 'unknown software exception' if I click on Tools -> Achievements.

  Any ideas what fails?

• 

  I love it, it's very funny. Awesome!
