A colleague just pointed me at a site I've not previously heard of. It's
called MySQLGame (www.mysqlgame.com). It's a sort of battleship game where
one row represents targets and that you hit by writing queries. All your
moves are queries.

The colleague in question is something of a Linux guru but is pretty new to
MySQL. He is using the game to learn how to write queries.

I haven't played it yet; I've just now visited the site. Looks like another
excellent time-waster :)

note, depending on your administrator, this site maybe blocked as a "game"
which it is, sort of?

I didn't say that the game ought to be played at work, LOL. I'd consider
the hours invested as off-clock research.
