[Edu-sig] Announcement: new version of Reeborg's World

[kirby urner]

I certainly like the idea (and reality) that Reeborg speaks 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.

Note how Berkeley Snap has many "skins" (blog shows Snap in Arabic):

On the topic of Robots (virtual and actual) controlled by Python, I wonder
if anyone here has experience with the Anki line.

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!
