New Year, new ideas for #Python programming activities! youtube.com/shorts/xKaQs...

Love Pac-Man? Compose the game assets for the maze from scratch in #Python with #PyTamaro. #programming #CSEducation youtube.com/shorts/hYc-w...

Live PyTamaro Programming in the Browser! Check out TIDE, in Joey's PAINT'25 talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA8P...

HT to Nathan Coquerel for developing TIDE in barely 2 months!

But just to add: I like PyTamaro and I think the compositional approach saves coordinate-faffing for creating static pictures. We're just finalising support for third-party libraries in Strype which would enable making the PyTamaro API available in Strype as mentioned in the post.

Cool work, and thanks for checking out and mentioning PyTamaro! I agree that a (local) coordinate system is necessary to model the physical world, which many games use for some parts. (Unfortunately, students will end up using them in hacky ways even for the parts that are not about coordinates...)

Oh, and here's the link to TIDE: pytamaro.si.usi.ch/tide

Have fun! And let us know if you bump into problems.

approach adopted by PyTamaro yields engagement levels comparable to the venerable turtle approach. Compositional graphics code appears to be easier to trace than turtle graphics code. As for conceptual knowledge, our results [10/12 of https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.20526v1]

Knowledge: We find few differences between the two groups on the post-test, despite the PyTamaro group having practiced on problems isomorphic to those in the post-test. The participants traced a [6/12 of https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.20526v1]

I'm not sure I understand the "building a Cartesian system on top of compositional graphics is difficult" bit.

Here's a small example that uses PyTamaro to implement a local cartesian coordinate system: pytamaro.si.usi.ch/playground?c...
