• Featured Mod of the Month: Anita Olsen

  Anita: I have lifetime access to the subscription-based code-learning website, CodeCombat, where I enjoy learning Python and taking all the Game Development courses offered there. Those games I made were a part of the Game Development 1 and 2 courses (there is also a 3rd course) on CodeCombat. You code the games entirely on your own from scratch by the use of the knowledge you have gathered from the lessons in the... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• What can I do?

  So now, while you have time (yes you have no time now but when you are out of school working with a child and or no summer vacation you will have less time) you can try MIT Scratch or CodeCombat and learn to code. For you it's a long the goal is to make 1 app or a handful of apps in 4 years until you graduate. That's absolutely doable even for someone who knows 0 about coding. Then when you graduate, if you are... Source: 6 months ago

• What Programming Languages are Best for Kids?

  You can also have a look on Erase All Kittens (quite interesting) and also Code Combat. Source: 10 months ago

• Tracking Caches in Excel

• Can I view a list of Adventure Labs by searching for a Creator? There are a few I liked and would like to see if that Creator has other Labs. Searching for owned Labs on profile just sends me to AL main page which seems pretty useless.

  The second step is https://gsak.net/index.php to download and use GSAK to sort the gpx file by owner name. It's a free to download, but there are A LOT of options to choose from. Fear not!, because the default settings are pretty much all you'll need. There are probably quite a few utilities out there that will work just as well as GSAK and be a lot easier to use so let's see if anyone can suggest one of those. Source: 12 months ago

• Best free Geocaching app for iOS without subscription

  If you do find yourself planning ahead, rather than copy coords down, you can use GSAK (on a computer) to collect the info on the caches you want to look for, then export that as a .gpx file, and save it to your phone and open it with whatever geocaching app you choose to use.

• looking for an app that marks all the paths I have been to and go to on maps.

  Look for apps that target geocachers. For example - GSAK (https://gsak.net/index.php). Source: almost 2 years ago
