Inspired by some recent teacher questions via email and Twitter, I threw together some more advanced Swift Playgrounds. Adventures! Right now there are two of them. As Swift Playgrounds, they're designed to run in the Playgrounds app on your iPad, so you can take your code on the go with you, or monkey around with them in the Playgrounds app on your Mac....
