I have a question ? When the book says “Young people”, how young ? I’d like to give it a try with a bunch of kids from my community but not sure what would be a good age range.

Thanks for the info.

Thank you for your response. I’d be interested in seeing those Python text adventure programs!

For loops are introduced on the page directly after the one I took a picture of in fact (p91). I wouldn’t describe the use of the turtle graphics as “using” vs coding. The part which is being taught is the basic syntax and semantics of the Python language, and the turtle module is a really handy way to get immediate visual feedback for your attempts. The next book chapter is slightly more advanced (and standalone) Python, using it to create a text-based adventure.

I was hoping to see Turtle Graphic programming (coding) as opposed to “import Turtle” (using). But I guess that can’t be helped with these kind of books. Programming Python book by O’Reilly clocks in at 1500 pages, so not for kids.
I’m curious as to what language is used for Adventure/RPG type of program? I’m building one myself using Petit Computer, and I’m just past 50,000 words, and still haven’t explained how FOR-LOOP works.

Yes, a 5V 16×2 LCD *should* work, and as you say is safe as you’re not connecting any LCD outputs to Pi inputs. Adafruit’s tutorial for instance uses a 5V LCD http://learn.adafruit.com/drive-a-16×2-lcd-directly-with-a-公寓+中文字幕-pi/wiring

This looks really good – just received mine this morning and looking forward to a good read this weekend, but seems to be written in a nice, accessible style that my students should find easy to follow.

I noticed that the Jukebox project uses a 3.3v LCD module and these seem significantly trickier to get hold of (and more expensive) than 5v LCDs. Given that the RW line is tied low and the GPIO pins are being used as outputs only, I think it’s probably OK to use a 5v display? (Obviously connected to the 5v pin rather than the 3.3v pin!) Can anyone confirm?!

I believe in this case “Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.” I am jealous of the “Carrie Anne says…” icon though, I need one of those.

I’m not sure the scared Python guy in chapter 5 is a suitable resemblance though. After all, they do call me ‘abs’ around here.

Carrie Anne Phlbin is, in my opinion, not only a star, but a Super Star! My granddaughter and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of her book!

We have been wondering if the guy being constricted by a snake in chapter 5 is you, Alex.
