Announcement: new version of Reeborg's World
After more than a year of rewriting, reorganizing and adding features, a new version of Reeborg's World (http://reeborg.ca/reeborg.html) is finally available. I have done some fairly extensive testing ... but there's nothing like having other users testing it to discover bugs. I'm hoping to quash any remaining bug by September, in time for the new school year. Reeborg's World takes the basic Karel the robot idea from Pattis and builds upon it. As I started to write documentation explaining the new features, I quickly realized that there was a lot of things to described … so many in fact that it has become a book titled *Reeborg’s World: a Teacher’s Guide*. The book is not finished yet but it is available online. https://aroberge.gitbooks.io/reeborg-s-world-advanced-world-creation/content... I would love to get your feedback on either the site itself, or the book, or both. Cheers, André
I certainly like the idea (and reality) that Reeborg speaks French! http://reeborg.ca/docs/en/basics/library.html#reeborg-can-understand-french My summer camp kids tend to be an international cast, with some going to Portland's international school. Localization is important, and something to build in. http://reeborg.ca/docs/en/basics/library.html#reeborg-can-understand-french Note how Berkeley Snap has many "skins" (blog shows Snap in Arabic): http://mybizmo.blogspot.com/2017/08/summer-camp-fun.html On the topic of Robots (virtual and actual) controlled by Python, I wonder if anyone here has experience with the Anki line. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cozmo/0.15.1 http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/diy/anki-code-lab-brings-sophist... A Scratch-like GUI converts to Python under the hood. I haven't had a chance to play with one personally. Blockly likewise goes straight from blocks to Python (and Lua, and....) Reeborg looks like one of the best-developed Python-based virtual robots out there! Kirby On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 8:03 AM, Andre Roberge <andre.roberge@gmail.com> wrote:
