Context

One of the common things we still hear about on the forum, discord, reddit groups is about campers wanting more practice and building projects on their own.

We currently have the take home projects section here:

https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/coding-interview-prep/#take-home-projects

But it is not that visible on learn and most campers don't even realize it exists. The whole coding interview prep section is currently being revamped.

But for now, we want to add more projects to that section and rename it to something like Frontend, Backend and Full Stack projects. Or something like that. We want to add a nice mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced projects.

These will be open ended and match this style here

https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/coding-interview-prep/take-home-projects/build-a-roguelike-dungeon-crawler-game

This open ended style allows campers to use whatever technologies they like and design it however they want to. Plus they can add additional features if they want.

There also won't be a test suite. Just written user stories(see linked example again). Campers will build these projects in whatever environment they like and submit a link.

Adding a prototype and user stories

A good beginner project for campers to build is a tip calculator.

We need a prototype for this and a few user stories.

Create your own style for the prototype.

When you are ready, create a PR with your completed project and the user-stories.md file inside of the folder here
