• Ask HN: Platform for 11 year old to create video games?

  Humble Bundle has a Godot bundle is available for the next day or so. That might be a good one to look at if you're ok with leaning into code a bit (gdscript is very very similar to python). https://www.humblebundle.com/software/learn-godot-43-complete-course-bundle-software Also check out the RPG Maker bundle. That's pretty point-and-click. You can have something basic up and running in a couple minutes... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Exploring Raylib and Open Source

  I selected this library as I normally use much higher-level tools to develop games such as p5.js, or GDevelop. Both these tools are amazing in their own right; however, I want to learn how these processes operate on a much lower level. These tools take care of a lot of issues for you ranging from asset to memory management. Raylib is still cross-platform but does not handle these tasks for the programmer which I... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Unity’s New Pricing: A Wake-Up Call on the Importance of Open Source in Gaming

  It's not as monolithic as you'd think. There are lots of engines out there but their communities aren't very vocal compared to Unity, Unreal, and especially Godot's community. Take a look at: https://itch.io/game-development/engines/most-projects And https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/the-generous-space-of-alternative-game-engines-a-curation- If you look at both of these you'll see just how many engines there are... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• The Python Web Stack You've Never Heard Of: Building Apps Without Frontend Code

  Anvil’s solution relies on Skulpt, a JavaScript implementation of Python that runs in the browser. When you write Python code for the client-side, it gets compiled to JavaScript at runtime. This means your Python code is actually executing in the browser, handling events, manipulating the DOM, and updating the UI. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Using Phlex helps me be a better programmer

  I wasn't sure. One of the big things that Phlex does differently is that you only write Ruby. No HTML. No erb or slim or other templating. It's all ruby code. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Ruby, but at the same time, I'm bit sceptical about approaches that try to "get rid" of some language - I don't for example think you should write Ruby/Python/.. Instead of javascript. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• What to do after building a basic HTML/CSS site?

  As for python being supported in the browser, I think you're looking for something like https://skulpt.org/. I haven't used it though, but you'll need to learn how to use libraries first. Source: about 3 years ago

• Raspberry Pi Debuts a Code Editor for Young People: "Python is the preferred coding language for beginners (particularly young people), as it’s the most intuitive language utilized by professionals. For this reason, Raspberry Pi’s Code Editor uses Python (specifically the standard library and P5)."

  It's a simple editor, but looks like it would be good for beginners and should work on Chromebooks and mobile devices. It appears to be a React single page app that uses Skulpt behind the scenes. Source: over 3 years ago

• Pointers? In My Python? It's More Likely Than You Think - Part 3: Object Lifetimes and Garbage Collection

  We ended Part 2 by asking the questions: once we've created an object x, how and why does its 'lifetime' end? In this article, we'll learn the answers by exploring how CPython frees objects from memory. CPython isn't the only implementation of Python - for example, there's Skulpt, which Anvil uses to run Python in the browser - but it's the one we'll focus on specifically for this article. - Source: dev.to / about 4 years ago
