Hi all, during last PilCon Mia asked if there were any ideas for pilBox apps she could work in the blog post series.
For pilBox modified ToDo list app was the only thing that came into my mind at that early hour :-) (of course could be of really interest how to keep the data of both desktop and pilBox ToDos in sync without a centralized todo-data-server) And could be useful when expanded to a reusable shopping list (mark required items at home and check/disappear them when put into shopping cart) But what about a tiny quiz application to shorten waiting time at the bus station or elsewhere? Such a pilBox App might (down)load different questions+answers sets and presents them as a little multiple choice game. My silly example for first question ever of such a quiz: "What are the 3 main base data types of picolisp?" a) uint8, uint16, uint32 b) digits, chars, lists c) numbers, symbols, cons pairs (lists) d) cell, heap, garbage collection :-) A reduced first aim of that app could be the basic flashcard (german: Lernkarte) version (less programming and no need to find senseful alternate answers): pilBox App shows question: "What are the 3 main base data types of picolisp?" Nothing else is shown. User mumbles "Easy: numbers, symbols, lists". Then taps on 'Show' button. "Numbers, Symbols, Cons Pairs (lists)" shows up. User strikes his arm "Yes!" Seatmate asks: "Interesting, what programming language are you talking about?" :-) Greetings, Olaf -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
