Hello all, I was quite impressed with Slava's Google Tech talk so I wanted to learn it a bit. And since I noticed that there's missing some kind of basic environment for beginners, I decided to create one. I've done enough so that people can start using it, at least give feedback.
Still, there's lots to do, e.g. the tutorial has only first section. My idea is to enlarge the package to contain puzzles / problems. The playground is meant for trying to combine learned things in easy way. You can use HTML5 canvas. With the Factor-javascript interpreter it would be possible to make HTML game in Factor, though because of educational purpose the whole implementation has zero emphasis on performance and is likely to be orders of magnitude slower than javascript. (Not to mention my first interpreter ever). I hope someone finds this useful. I'm just trying to give back to the community which has done a lot of work for open source community. I registered today a domain for the playground (and for future open educational software): http://factor.openeducationtools.com/ There's a bitbucket repository for milestones and one can file issues: http://bitbucket.org/egaga/js-factor/ - Henrik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself. Speed compiling, find bugs proactively, and fine-tune applications for parallel performance. See why Intel Parallel Studio got high marks during beta. http://p.sf.net/sfu/intel-sw-dev _______________________________________________ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk
