python_koans VS Arcade

- python

The learn to code in 2 months boot camps are largely rubbish but self teaching the basics in something like Python (I like the Koans https://github.com/gregmalcolm/python_koans as they will reach you coding, Google skills, testing, and source control) will at least tell you if you like coding.

This reminds me of the Python Koans .. I loved doing those :) https://github.com/gregmalcolm/python_koans

After that, I'd work through something interactive. Lots off choices here, but maybe something like the Python koans: https://github.com/gregmalcolm/python_koans

When I started my current job I was given a couple of weeks to learn python. (I was a ruby dev previously). I really enjoyed the Python koans (https://github.com/gregmalcolm/python_koans) as a change from just reading docs, and something that gave me some small sense of achievement

I'm learning a new language right now and I'm finding its "koans" helpful. "Koans" are a format for tutorials that take the form of a script that runs on your computer, that you gradually fix up like Stardew Valley. There are Python koans here - https://github.com/gregmalcolm/python_koans

Not exactly what you asked for but a good addition to learning. https://github.com/gregmalcolm/python_koans

When I was learning Ruby for a job ruby koans was helpful. Python has a version here: https://github.com/gregmalcolm/python_koans not sure of the quality though.

I work on a Python game engine called Arcade[1] and other projects within it's Github organization such as pytiled-parser. We also help to drive continued development and improvement within Pyglet[2]. Recently, my efforts have been focused on creating a version which can be run in web browsers by using Pyodide and WebGL[3], though that is still fairly early stages.

Arcade's primary focus is on being an educational tool for beginner programmers, so my hope is that with browser compatibility we can lower the barrier to entry further and make it more accessible and easy to get started with. In a similar vein to the goals of browser compatibility, we've recently enabled full compatibility with Raspberry Pi through the use of OpenGL ES(and this was largely only possible thanks to the huge amount of work that everyone involved in the Mesa project puts in)

I'm not the original author of Arcade, but I am a current maintainer and put a substantial amount of time into it and it's community.

Interesting, looks like some of the default fonts are not getting frozen as part of the executable? I opened an issue: https://github.com/pythonarcade/arcade/issues/1252

Added clear method to UIManager (#1116)

Arcade can now run in headless mode on linux servers opening more possibilities for users in for example the data science community (#1107). See Headless Arcade for more information.

Fixed issue #978, copy button in examples moved to the left to prevent it disappearing.
