New code club browser editor – Testing

Code Club have created a new in browser code editor, which we can try and test at code club.

More information can be found here

While this is in testing, this is a really important part of the software development process, so being able to test software is just as important as writing software.

GoDot beginners course

As we have discussed the GoDot game engine at Code Club, I am sharing this from a recent Free Code Camp e-mail.

  1. Unleash your inner game developer with this new Godot Game Engine course. This beginner-friendly tutorial will guide you through coding your own platformer game. You'll design your game's User Interface, enemies, and 2D background scenes. Along the way, you'll also learn skills like event scripting, animation, and camera movement. (25 minute read):

Code Club – Summer 2023 code along

Just been sent this by code club

Get set for a summer codealong! Join the Code Club team on Tuesday, 23 May, 10:00–11:00am BST/GMT+1.

This is a great opportunity for young people aged 9 and above to come together and code one of our simple and fun projects! No previous coding experience is required to participate in this codealong. You can include as many classes or groups of learners as you would like, as long as they can all follow along comfortably on the day.

Summer 23 code along

Learners will create a summer day in the garden animation, using the simple coding language, Scratch. Learners will have the opportunity to add their creativity and personality to their projects, and a digital certificate will be made available to everyone who participates.

Code Club 6/5/2023

The next Paignton Library code club is on Saturday 6th May 2023 10 am to 12:00. We can carry on with what we are doing,

Useful Links

Beginner Level

Roblox

As Roblox is very popular and allows you to develop within the game the following may be useful.

Note you need your own laptop with this installed so you can develop Lua projects for Robox. You can use Replit to learn Lua but need an account.

GNU / Linux BASH

This is something that once mastered can be very beneficial

Python

Web Site Creation

Other

Free Code Camp offer a wide range of follow along interactive courses, tutorials etc. You will need an account but it is probably worth getting on.

  • Vfsync – this is a Linux terminal in a browser.

Older Links

I have previously included links to other resources, as I have now updated this page then the old links are still on the previous post.

Code Club 15/4/2023

The next Paignton Library code club is on Saturday 15th April 2023 10 am to 12:00. We can carry on with what we are doing, new members welcome as there are resources for beginners to more experienced user.

I have included a link to the GNU/Linux command line BASH shell tutorials,

If you would like to start undertaking more with Python, we have 4 copies of the Python for beginners book on the shelf, and there is a copy in the Library which can be borrowed. The Pis and laptops / netbooks do have Python installed. But it may just be easier to get a Repl.it account

Going further, the two laptops I gave out on the 7th have the GoDot game engine installed, this is for creating more advanced games, the main language for this is GD Script.

For those of you working on Responsive web design then this seems to be going really well.

There are also some contests you can get involved with, some of these are listed below.

Paignton Library code club is picking up nicely, lots of cool stuff going on.

The core code club activities are still available. If you have been Scratch or other block based coding for a while then you may want to start looking at the next stage. which could be useful if starting with the Raspberry Pi.
