SAP Developer Challenge March - SAP Community Escape House - AI 🤖🧠

[noravonthenen]

The second SAP Developer Challenge of the year is now available! The Developer Advocates have created the SAP Community Escape House - a virtual escape house (consisting of multiple rooms) that you can play in your browser. Read on for all the details.

SAP Developer Challenges are all about having fun, trying new things, and learning along the way. You can also earn a badge in the SAP Community upon successful completion. For this year, all SAP Developer Challenges will happen in the SAP Community Escape House. For each challenge, we will unlock a new room in the house, and they all have a specific focus topic. Completing a challenge means successfully escaping the room by solving a series of coding-related tasks/questions. This month is all about AI, specifically the generative AI Hub on SAP AI Core and the SAP HANA Cloud vector engine.

The details of January's challenge (UI5) are here: link.
The details of February's challenge (Integration) are here: link.

How to participate

Visit the SAP Community Escape House and enter your numeric SAP Community user ID. If you don't know your user ID, go to your SAP Community profile. You can find the numeric ID at the end of the URL.

Once you see the SAP Community Escape House, select the AI room and start exploring it.

SAP Community Escape House - Available rooms

The user interface of an escape room includes the room itself as well as a terminal. You can click the objects in the room to receive tips. Like in a real (physical) escape room, you will have to try out a few things and explore the room until you receive helpful tips and, eventually, instructions. These tips and instructions are printed in the terminal next to the room. The terminal is also used to submit solutions to tasks. Read the instructions you receive carefully to understand how.

SAP Community Escape House - AI room

If you successfully escape the room (you will know when that happens), you will receive a badge in the SAP Community. We will assign the badges once the challenge closes.

The schedule

The AI room was unlocked on March 3rd and the challenge closes on March 31st, so you will have to escape the room until then to qualify for a badge. We will also inactivate all the service keys you need to access Generative AI Hub by the end of the challenge. The room will stay unlocked until the end of the year so you can still try it out with your own system. Unlike the previous year, this SAP Developer Challenge does not consist of weekly sub-challenges. The next room (next challenge) will be unlocked in April.

Good luck and happy escaping!

[Alkuzetsov]

This is great!

[rr_dev]

Nice challenge... thanks for funny intro to Ai capabilities in SAP.
We can do i better..

[M-K]

Hi Nora,

I would like to get the "maybe you need this" hint of the "picture" task again. How can I get it after starting? Clicking it another time doesn't show it again.

Edit: escaped 😃 got the hint from a colleague

[mvaibhav]

@noravonthenen 

Not sure if its only me who is doing it incorrectly or some issue with the client id

I am getting error from gen ai API as 

AIAPIAuthenticatorAuthorizationException: Could not retrieve Authorization token: {"error":"invalid_client","error_description":"Bad credentials"}

Can someone please confirm if they have successfully completed the challenge?

Thanks,

Vaibhav Maheshwari

[Alkuzetsov]

i did, please read the hints @mvaibhav

[Cocquerel]

Challenge completed! Thank you for the effort put into the very elaborate format, which made it fun and attractive. I would have liked a bit more difficulty and more open-ended questions where I could have been more creative.

[noravonthenen]

Totally agree @Cocquerel! I also wanted it to be more difficult but as it is a new topic to many people we decided to make it easier for this one. Next time 😉

[rr_dev]

Im agree but only on what all people feel they can finish,
Hope to feel that hardcore experience (ABAP, CASP and the hidden ones)...

Maybe a challenging integration with Python or another SDK's

[mvaibhav]

Finally (phew)

After few initial hiccups, was able to escape the room.

Interesting way to learn about Gen AI

[aonunes]

Best challenge so far!

[anton_kuznetsov4]

I didn't get what it is supposed to be an answer for chatbot task. I mean, I fixed an error in a code and was able to communicate with bot and remember history. But what is expected as an answer here in a cli command? 🙂 Maybe only I need a hint here?

[rr_dev]

exactly.
which fix (in terms of code) did you make? only that completes the comand

[Dan_Wroblewski]

That was really fun, and I even learned a little something. 

Not too hard, but still required a little thought (and for me a little help from my friends 🎶). And the spider was cute.

[anton_kuznetsov4]

@rr_dev I've already tried "escape mask <corrected line of code>", "escape mask <code added>", with spaces, period and so on... maybe this is some encoding issue or I'm losing the idea 😃

[mvaibhav]

Hi @anton_kuznetsov4 

"escape mask" is for some other exercise.

The solution you are applying is for "escape spider"

[anton_kuznetsov4]

@mvaibhav ok, that helped 🙂 thanks. I'm overthinking the tasks 😁

Finally escaped!

[Ruthiel]

Hello @noravonthenen !

Thanks a lot for this challenge!

Really useful and funny!

[MAHERG]

@RuthielRuth you left all the anwsers on your screenshot!😅

[Dan_Wroblewski]

@Ruthiel @MAHERG 🤭At least you still have to figure out the location of the picture

[Ruthiel]

@Dan_Wroblewski @MAHERG 
Thanks for spotting that branch! 

[Gaurav_Shroff]

I am amazed how well the challenges are designed, Thank you for this @noravonthenen 

[gphadnis2000]

Finally escaped room. It was funny challenge.

[RohanShukla]

Finally escaped!! Really interesting, funny and well designed. Thanks for that @noravonthenen, it did make us try things which gave a good overview of different packages/Python steps involved in the process which is great!

Next time please force us to write more lines of code too, so it can give us even more learning! 😀

[Dwipayan96]

Finally escaped the room !!!!!

Thanks @noravonthenen for this challenge.

[noravonthenen]

Wow thank you all so so much for your feedback!!

@mvaibhav Please click on the task where you originally received the service-key again. You will receive a new service-key. We regularly update them 🙂

[sabarna17]

Awesome experience with the escape room. I think escape room concept made the SAP Developer's community a contemporary one.. 
One thing what I have experienced is generative-ai-hub-sdk is a very difficult package install locally without your virtual environment, if you have a lot thing installed. Especially OrchestrationService.

[Ihor_Haranichev]

Thanks @noravonthenen!

Such an exciting challenge! I really enjoyed it!

Escaped the room.

[guptaR]

This was fun and exciting..

[Sayontan_Das]

Finally Completed

Great escape room @noravonthenen , waiting for more interesting challenge

[Latifa]

I escaped, yipee 

[sangyeulhan]

Hi, Nora.
I escaped.
I was impressed by your amazing game design. ^^
Also, I am trying to create a cost-effective BTP environment for this and generative AI services. Can you help me?

[Markus_Hapke]

Hi All , 

I 've got serious problems when running the "yo easy-ui5 project project" command .

That doesn't work , got the error: 

Cannot find package 'chalk' imported from /Users/<user>/.npm/_generator-easy-ui5/plugin-generators/generator-ui5-project/generators/project/index.js

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'chalk' imported from /Users/m<user>/.npm/_generator-easy-ui5/plugin-generators/generator-ui5-project/generators/customcontrol/index.js  This file is then searched too in   ...generators/cap/index.js and other paths. Any help on this.  Regards Markus

[nicoschoenteich]

Hi @Markus_Hapke,

Can you please try runing a manual npm install in the "/Users/<user>/.npm/_generator-easy-ui5/plugin-generators/generator-ui5-project/" directory and then run the original command again?

Hope this helps.

Best, Nico
