About The Clockwork Town of Tempora

A beginner-level Copilot Adventure where participants help synchronize drifting clocks in the mechanical town of Tempora. The Grand Clock Tower must coordinate all smaller clocks using algorithms built with GitHub Copilot's autonomous Agent mode. This adventure teaches algorithmic thinking and hands-on use of GitHub Copilot through a narrative-driven coding challenge.

Key Features

Uses GitHub Copilot's autonomous Agent mode to write code across multiple files
Teaches synchronization algorithms through a narrative clockwork town scenario
Beginner-level adventure suitable for those new to GitHub Copilot
Provides a structured learning experience with a predefined challenge
Runs in GitHub Codespaces for instant setup and zero configuration
