Re: [Audyssey] FW: [The Teacher List] Enchanting - robotics programming

2011-02-05 Thread Alfredo_The_Music_maker
My fellow friend, you are wrong. Why not do some research on NFB. Why, 
they had a robotics club a few years ago in the 2009 Youth slam. They 
use that code to program the robots. It had 0 graphical pictures. It is 
not just for the blind, but rather for those who are not visual 
learners. I would say that program would be good for us to use, but at 
the same time, what good would it do if we used that program to make 
games with? I mean, the original point was to see if we could make games 
using the loge systems.

Its for programming robots, so wouldn't be near enough for doing 
games. It mostly does left, right, backwards, forwards, steps and 
circles. All the things nice little robots need to grow on.

My pal, Bill Lomax showed me this site that offers software called
Enchanting.  From the site: Enchanting is an open-source graphical
programming environment for children to program their LEGO Mindstorms NXT
robots (and, in the future, possibly other devices.) Scratch from the MIT
Media Laboratory. Scratch is an excellent tool for empowering children to
program, and familiarity with it will be very valuable for anyone using
Enchanting.

I doubt it nicol.

The lego games were basically involved with building lego things on the 
computer, and this sounds like a way for children to have more advanced 
programming control over their lego creations by using a customized gui, 
(graphical user interface).


Not only would the gui need totally rewriting into something accessible, but 
also the very lego software it interacts with would need to be made 
accessible too, which would be an even more huge task.


Beware the gRue!

I know there is a text version of the program called Bricx CC which is 
all text.

It uses code like:
#include subroutines.nxc
Task Main())
{
Forward;
wait(1000)
stop;
}

Re: [Audyssey] FW: [The Teacher List] Enchanting - robotics programming

2011-02-04 Thread shaun everiss

hmmm looks like some ai type program.
There are two graphical types though.
Graphical could mean is picture driven being this is probably for 
children it may be.

Or it could just have a gui.
For the blind?
I don't know.
Its for the lego systems which wouldn't be good on their own to us 
unless we had a set.

As a standard language.
I don't know.
If its for children though I doubt it will be that smart.
I mean children don't know much.
It will be a piece of absolute crap for anyone bar children.
I havn't bothered visiting the site as such but from the message its 
probably not for us but then I am no serious hacker/ programmer.

I can change options in an interface.
I couldn't  betrusted for anyting over real simple code.
Though if its opensource and graphis are included for the program 
itself if we just not have those or have a hybrid system then that could work.

But I don't know if there are any applications for any of us.
