As perhaps some of you are aware, I've been working on an Activity for web programming in Python. I think Python is a wonderful language for learning programming and have always found installing Python itself a barrier. Now we can work directly in a browser and programs will run in anywhere with very little overhead, at very reasonable speeds! Currently Jappy Activity has the following features: <ul> <li>Python 3 syntax and comparable performance </li> <li>Tabbed Code editor with syntax highlighting and Solarized color scheme</li> <li>Supports multiple files using Python's import syntax </li> <li>Six examples demonstrating language and API features:</li> <ul> <li>Mandala Maker</li> <li>Memorize Game</li> <li>Emoji Selector 👽</li> <li>... more! by me and soon, you! 😉 </li> </ul> <li>Yes, it has built in support for ~900 Emojis you can use directly in your code!</li> <li>Run your creations in full screen! </li> <li>Runs on Webkit2 / Chrome / Firefox browser engines (IE not tested)</li> <li>Gives access to HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript</li> <li>Saves session in Sugar or Sugarizer Journal if available </li> <li>Export to .zip (compiled JS code + source) </li> <li>Import from .zip or as individual files</li> <li>Jappy library offers browser friendly print, inputAsync, clearScreen statements</li> <li>Jappy itself is written in Python / RapydScript</li> <li>Experimental standalone Android build and .XO bundle </li> </ul> Under the hood, Jappy uses the excellently supported RapydScript-NG compiler by Kovid Goyal (the author of Calibre e-book manager). This means that although the Python semantics are well supported, the "batteries included" actually come from Javascript-land. You may use any Javascript library from Jappy. It's a fun way to program the browser and get over the quirks of Javascript. I would sincerely appreciate your feedback and testing for this tool which I plan to put to good use in our Artisan Videogame Workshop. Special thanks to Laura Vargas, as well as our two children Inti and Mariana, for their enthusiastic testing, feedback, design direction, support and patience. This edition, version 1, "Mother's Day Edition" is dedicated to all three of them. 👪 With your testing and any fixes that result, I hope to offer a pull request for it to be included in Sugarizer.
