I like this, it’s lower-level than Scratch, with a focus on doing stuff more than making funny noises and animation.
I want to have a play with seeing how you can demonstrate composition. Do you suggest any good templates for this?
- gabigrin 3y agoThanks, exactly what I aimed for (: Regarding composition, anything you had in mind? I can draft a playground (https://play.flyde.dev/ https://play.flyde.dev/) example for you
- dugmartin 3y agobtw, your playground homepage has a date/time error. I see this in the DOM: Modified <span data-tooltip-id="main-tooltip" data-tooltip-content="3/7/2024, 12:21:48 PM">-12537 seconds</span> ago</div> You may want to use a timestamp instead of comparing local time.
- gabigrin 3y agoThanks for reporting! Will check and fix this.
- blowski 3y agoI teach a code club to 8-10 year olds. They understand functions, and that the main script can call functions, and that functions can call other functions. Conceptually, they struggle with a function being assigned to a variable, passed in as an argument, or being returned from a function. So far, demonstrating to them what's going on here and why this is useful has eluded me.
