Code Maven from Crunchzilla
<h2>Code Maven gets teens excited about programming. It is an interactive tutorial where anyone can experiment with learning to code. <p> Code Maven from Crunchzilla uses Javascript. Hi, I'm Code Maven! Getting Started Lesson 1 BACK How to Play | Lesson Sections | About | FAQ | Terms of Use | Privacy | Contact | © 2015 How to Play Code Maven teaches teens and adults a little about Javascript programming! It's easy to play. Click on the Reset button if you really mess up your code and want to start over on a lesson. Code Maven saves what lesson you are on, so feel free to stop at any time and come back later. Have fun! Frequently Asked Questions What is the c in things like c.save()? c is a variable Code Maven creates for you that contains the Canvas' 2D context. var c = document.getElementById('pane').getContext('2d'); How can I save my code and use it outside of Code Maven? Longer answer: A minimal HTML file that works would look like this: Is there any other code that is hidden from me? Sure!
Amit’s Game Programming Information
What’s on this page? I’m interested in producing complexity out of simple parts. This page contains bookmarks that I collected while working on games; I did not write most of the content linked from here. As a result the set of links here reflects the types of things I needed to know: only a few specific topics (not everything related to game programming), general ideas instead of platform-specific information (graphics, sound, compilers), and ideas and designs instead of source code (I find it easier to go from an idea to code than from code to an idea). Other sites, like Gamedev Tuts+, Gamedev, and Gamasutra, cover lots more topics than mine does. Determining how to move around on a map is an interesting problem. These pages are about specific techniques for pathfinding and object movement: My current favorite algorithm is A*, because it can handle varying terrain costs well, and it seems to be faster than most graph searching algorithms.

Top 10 of 2014, No. 8: Coding
eSchool News highlights some of the 10 most significant ed-tech developments of 2014, and coding is No. 8 Each year, the eSchool News editors compile 10 of the most influential ed-tech developments and examine how those topics dominated K-12 ed-tech conversations. No. 8 on our list for 2014 is coding. Coding is quickly becoming a course that schools must offer in some way. The coding movement, buoyed by the Hour of Code during Computer Science Education Week, seeks to highlight how accessible coding courses and tutorials are for people of all ages.

Android cheatsheet for graphic designers
Graphic designers aren't programmers and sometimes don't know how to properly prepare graphic assets for developers. This simple cheatsheet should help them to do their job better, and to simplify developers' lives.

LyX’s detailed Math manual
by the LyX Team Version 2.0.x This document explains LyX’s math features and is furthermore a collection of LaTeX-commands used for mathematical characters and constructs. The explanations are designed for the usage of commands. It is therefore required that you have read the section Mathematical Formulas of the User’s Guide. Most of the characters and many constructs explained in this manual are also accessible via the menu Insert ▷ Math, or the math toolbar. If not specially mentioned the commands are only available within formulas. This document doesn’t list all AmS -math commands for lucidity reasons. To create an inline formula↓ that is embedded into a text line, use one of the shortcuts math-mode or the toolbar button To create a display style formula↓ that will appear bigger and in an own paragraph, use one of these shortcuts: math-display. To display parts of an inline formula in the size of a display style formula, enter the command \displaystyle↓ to a formula. Command Scheme . . ).
Hour of Code | Thomasville Times
On Tuesday Thomasville High School students joined tens of millions of students from across the world to participate in an international campaign titled “Hour of Code.” During their first block of classes, students from every grade had the opportunity to try computer coding for one hour by simply logging on to the web-site Code.org, and following self-guided video tutorials. Designed to promote computer science education in the classroom, the week long, nationwide effort gives every student — regardless of grade, academic interest or access to technology an introduction to the basics of computer science through hands-on activities that demystify coding, proving that creating a phone app or computer game is not as difficult and challenging as it may seem. According to Higgins, females and minorities are severely under-represented in the field of computer science. Last year, about 15 million students participated in the hour long event hosted by Code.org.
