Agreed with Arunoda about debugging. Thanks Isaac, using voxeljs would be awesome, but I don't know about the machines conditions, I wouldn't be suprised if there is just IE installed on that machines, and as far as I know the OS is very restricted, we can't install anything there, and I wans't willing to use Express, just the core modules at a first time.
It should be kinda hard to develop something individual for each studant using Tropo but it's a darn good idea. Thanks Fernando, I'm including supervisor in the list :-) -- Att, Alan Hoffmeister 2013/4/11 Arunoda Susiripala <[email protected]> > supervisor is good. > But I think debugging is not fit into a 3 hours session.
