* Package name : turing Version : 0.10~beta Upstream Author : Tom Niget <niget....@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/TuringApp/Turing * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : assistant to learn algorithms and programming languages Turing is a free and cross-platform app whose main goal is to assist the learning of algorithms and programming languages by providing easy-to-use development tools to all. . It provides a lighter alternative to the well-known Algobox, which is the currently de-facto widely used solution. . It provides two work modes: . * Algorithm mode * Uses a "natural" pseudocode language similar to the one used in Algobox and school books. * Assisted development * Program mode * Uses Python, for the more experienced . In both modes, the code can be debugged and executed step-by-step to facilitate the problem-solving side of development. ---- All the dependencies for the new package 'turing' are in Debian, except python3-autopep8 which should enter unstable shortly, see bug #875906 which I am closing. Turing's author is most enthusistic about pushing his work into Debian; no much autors of high quality free software are aged 15.
