Hello, You know, kids like effects, and if they can program effects, they like programming :)
the good overview of tools is http://livingcode.org/2008/the-importance-of-visual-programming there I found a new (for me) tool Nodebox -- similar to processing.org - the output is much nicer than turtle, and can export SVG, PDF, PNG - the great idea for experimentation to have code window side to canvas. http://nodebox.net , it's primarily for Mac, but there are crossplatform varinats (though missing some functionallity) http://dev.nodebox.net/wiki/Qt http://tinkerhouse.net/shoebot/ (more like a branch.., has deb package) shoebot has more examples :) some examples need additional libraries, see http://nodebox.net/code/index.php/Library You can add your own library http://www.eriksmartt.com/blog/archives/747 ps.: foer me shoebot and qt variants needed sys.path.append('/path/to/nodebox/libs') in the module where ximport is defined nodebox-qt/nodebox/graphics/__init__.py or /usr/share/pyshared/shoebot/__init__.py (on ubuntu) ps.: does anybody know if jython works with processing.org? -- Jurgis Pralgauskis Don't worry, be happy and make things better ;) http://sagemath.visiems.lt _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
