Hi educators! One of the hardest problems I've encountered upto now is to decide, when a piece of software is ready to be be published.
I've decided, that my new turtle graphics module ready now. A package, which additionally contains some example scripts. a tiny demoViewer and some documentation can be downloaded from: http://ada.rg16.asn-wien.ac.at/~python/xturtle From now on it's the user community, which will largely determine the future development of the module. I hope that it will grow to more than one user (which is me) soon. (*) And I'm willing to continue development (preferably in cooperation with others) until it's considered a really useful tool by the community. In my opinion it should replace the current turtle.py in the standard distribution. We will see if others join me in this respect ... (Please note, that xturtle.py is a complete reimplementation of what I've shown to you some ten weeks ago.) For now I'll not write too much about it, but ask you for feedback and contributions to a discussion about the module. (You'll find some more information on the webpage mentioned above!) However, I'll give a talk at Europython 2006 on July 5th about: xturtle - an extended turtle module for Python as a vehicle for teaching programming concepts. For this, too, your feedback will be welcome. And you'll get back the slides of the talk ;-) Regards, Gregor Lingl (*) This hope seems reasonable since I intend to use it in the forthcoming 2nd edition of "Python für Kids" _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
