Code Club 4/2/2023 – repost

Paignton Library code club 4/2/2023 10 am to 12:00, Happy to stay till 13:00.

Paignton Library code club is attendee ship is picking up nicely, We are still using scratch but some of us are slowly moving to text based languages in some form or other.

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.

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

BASH Course

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

Python
- Invent with python
- Repl.it

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.

Godot game engine

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.
