Hey everyone, it’s [Jackie](https://www.codedex.io/@jackieisonline)! We just launched some pretty *major* updates to #30NitesOfCode.

**#30NitesOfCode** is our habit-building feature where you commit to 30 days of learning and building, combining challenges like #100DaysOfCode with raising a virtual pet (e.g. Tamagotchi)! As you code every day, you get to log your progress to see your pet grow and evolve—while also hitting your learning goals through the power of small, consistent steps.

We originally launched this feature in March 2024 ([see our blog about it here](https://www.codedex.io/blog/30-nites-of-code)) but it was due for a major redesign. Primarily, we wanted to address common areas of confusion and make it even more immersive, fun, and engaging!

This means there are some big changes… but if you have an active pet, don’t worry—your progress is still there! Just make sure to review these updates to keep your challenge going.

Before, adding daily progress required you to make a post on Twitter/X or the on-platform community (OPC), *then* submit a link to that post in the #30NitesOfCode page. Our new design simplifies this process to make it easier to submit progress every day.

If you currently have an ongoing #30NitesOfCode challenge, don’t worry! Your progress and pet is still there with this new design, and you can view any of your old Twitter or OPC posts within your progress log. However, any new progress needs to be logged using the new “Add progress” on your pet page. But after you post, you’re still welcome to share your progress to Twitter/X or LinkedIn!

We know you love our cutscenes: our immersive storytelling moments with music, sound effects, and animation… so we brought more to #30NitesOfCode! Now you can unlock 4 cutscenes (designed and prototyped by yours truly with CSS animations 👀) across your pet's evolution. If you're feeling nostalgic, you can watch them again later anytime from your daily progress log.
