In the spirit of the original CP4E (Computer programming for everybody) that lead to the creation of edu-sig, but unfortunately not (yet) supporting Python, I am happy to announce the launch of Reeborg's World ( http://reeborg.ca) as the successor to RUR-PLE (http://code.google.com/p/rur-ple) but adapted for the web ... and designed to teach Javascript. Eventually (soon?) there will be a Python version (using either Brython or Skulpt). Compared with RUR-PLE (inspired by Guido van Robot, itself inspired by Karel the Robot) Pros: No installation required - available on the web Much more teaching material Test-Driven Learning: one can set up world with "goals" (end configuration) that are automatically tested Side and Top view of robot, based on user preference Syntax analysis (and feedback) performed by JSHint Often used user-defined functions (such as turn_right) can be saved by the user in their "Library" and loaded automatically Cons: No highlighting of current instruction being executed No graphical world builder (could be added with a fair bit of work) Only English lessons and interface (soon French will be added) Not Python (will be fixed! :-) Cheers, André P.S. Developers thrive on feedback and are always happy to implement features sought by users. ;-)

Hi, nice, reminded of http://www.code.org/learn/codehs by the way, maybe browser debugger can be called (with eval or so) to highlight current instruction.. (as extra feature) On Tue, Jun 11, 2013 at 3:32 PM, Andre Roberge <andre.roberge@gmail.com>wrote:
