#Coding without Computers

[workcoderight]

We at Code Right aspire to instill the 21st century skills of Programming and Computational Thinking within the young minds through our fun and intriguing curriculum. Children will be introduced to another fascinating dimension of technology empowering them to become the ‘architects‘ of the digital era.

Programming has become an essential skill for grown-ups and children alike. Coding is a creative process to instruct a computer on how to perform a task. Coding for kids at early as age 5 helps kids refine their design, logic, and problem-solving abilities. At Code Right, coding for kids is a typical unplugged gamified coding activity class with an edge of drag and drop platforms.

I'm convinced that the actual purpose of artfight is to get artists to actually finish the refs they've been putting off for months. Woe Porygon-A design be upon ye

[image id: a drawing a Porygon-Z variant, called Porygon-A. Instead of being red and blue, Porygon-A is white and yellow, and it has a halo around its body of jagged green plates, which mimics Arceus's plates and halo, and are designed to look like 0s and 1s, like binary code. In the second drawing, the halo is rainbow colored, because it is attacking. End id]

How would I go about learning about computer programming? Any advice for absolute beginners?

hm… well, i guess there's two primary ways you can start.

firstly, you could take a course. there are some online that are free to start with, like harvard's cs50, but i personally think the second option is a bit more fun and hands on.

the second option is to take some time to look up coding basics and experiment a bit through a small personal project. you can learn about the basic structure of computer programs and how programming languages work by watching youtube videos, or browsing stack overflow... and from there you can start small by making little programs that can do simple things. after that, it'll be a good foundation into coding more complex things.

good luck.

Some other ideas I had on the villagers:

Some sort of detection for how big the room their bed is in and whether or not it has a door. They might also be happier if they have a light source.

Less willing to trade if they are currently inside a minecart

Cannot have certain trades if their happiness is too low (maybe that enchanted sword is a family heirloom and they don't want to sell it to someone they don't like)

A method of donating resources either to the village or to individual villagers in order to make them more friendly toward you.

Villagers can punch you for a little bit of damage either in self defense or if they just hate you enough.

If a villager is happy enough and you've donated some stuff they'll give you certain low-value items for free. It could be funny if they just walk up to you and throw the item at you, and refuse to elaborate.

Some villagers prefer the nighttime and will prefer to sleep during the day.

Some villagers will be introverted and will prefer to stay inside. They might actually get less happy when other villagers talk to them too much.

Some villagers have pets. You cannot tame them yourself. If you kill a pet the villager who owns it permanently hates you.

Some villagers don't like each other. I have no idea what this could entail. Maybe they just won't ever breed.

This is probably outside the scope of your idea, but it would be cool if some types of villagers did things other than trading. Imagine if some villagers wore armor and guarded the village at night. This could extend to more interesting interactions, like if a village has guards and is attacked by raiders, the villagers could bribe the raiders in order to avoid a fight.

these are so fun!!

wrt villagers not liking each other maybe they also get annoyed if you trade with someone they dislike? although i probably wouldn't want that to affect trade prices just because then you have to keep track of like lines of sight and where everyone is at all times (& ofc the easiest way to do this is a minecart which is kinda antithetical to the point of the rest of the ideas imo)

but maybe they could like, avoid you for a short window of time after they see you trade with a villager they dislike (which would be noticeable but not really punishing since catching up with villagers walking away from you is pretty easy)? or some other such thing

also something kind of related to your last point is that it's already possible for villagers to wear armour if you dispense it on them in vanilla (i'm pretty sure?? and the enchantments also work for them??) so i feel like making that armour visible isn't a super big stretch!! ideally you wouldn't have to dispense it and you could just give it to them and they would put it on. honestly maybe just the way you already do with piglins or zombies or skeletons, with the same rules that they'll take better armour and drop what they're wearing.

although maybe with villagers you'd want a way to ask for it back in case you accidentally give them like your only netherite chestplate (obvs with the hostile mobs you just kill them to get items back but we're trying to avoid player incentives to kill villagers here). probably the easiest way to do this is just be able to access it in the trade menu, but also maybe depending on other factors (or just as a randomly determined trait only some villagers get) the villager will ask for emeralds (to cover the loss) or raise prices temporarily (because you took back a gift and that's rude)

why is everything engineering now. I'm doing my homework and one question is "What is the wavelength of a microwave with the frequency of 900 MHz? Include reasoning." bitch I'm studying HORTICULTURE

I watched Tron Legacy, had a fun time cuz it's a fun 2010's action/sci-fi romp with some effort put into it, but I keep thinking about The Themes and wondering if there's a novelization that digs a little deeper

Doodledex - #503-A Hisuian Samurott

Oshawott wound up being the Water-type starter for Legends: Arceus, and this is a choice that definitely makes a lot of sense! Despite being the starter of a region based on New York City (and the surrounding area), Samurott is pretty darn Japanese... I mean, "samurai" is literally in its English name! (Of course, this was done on purpose as part of Gen 5's starter theming showing off the diversity of the region, but still.)

Of course, there's no good way to make a Hisuian Samurott more historically Japanese as a result... so it winds up living up more to its Japanese name (Daikenki, which is either "great sword demon" or "great devilish swordsman" depending on how you read it) and has the Dark type added to it! This means that Samurott from Hisui are a lot less bound to honor than Unovan ones, and will often resort to dirty tricks and surprise attacks to win battles! (And this isn't exactly fun to be on the receiving end of... a Hisuian Samurott's attacks are compared to the ceaseless crashing of waves!)

ohhh my god i forgot how much i utterly dread front-end programming. much apologies in advance if you must access my blog in desktop

Wrow I didn't mean to be up until 2am coding but here we are...

Fishies gotta code.. perhaps even when they should be eeping.....

#Excel is actually a decent editor for writing Java#it makes it very difficult to make some of the most common Java mistakes#like writing code in Java

"Lol"

"Lmao" even.

Is this an "I have written too much Java" emotion or an "I refuse to touch Java" emotion?

I am, perhaps, overstating my aversion to the language - I don't really hate Java, I just don't find it terribly fun to work in (although it's been years since the last time I had to, so maybe IDE advances have made it more palatable now). I've worked on some Java projects that were quite well put together, but I've also seen my share of code with types like ProducerFactory<FactoryProducer, IGatewayFactoryFactory>.

In general if speed is not an essential part of a project I prefer to write in Python for its terseness and extremely effective syntactic sugar (context managers, generators, etc.), and if speed IS essential then various C variants, Rust, or even Go will almost certainly outperform Java. So it's not entirely clear to me why Java is still used outside of legacy code.

Yeah tbh I was shocked when I read the post and went straight to settings and there I clicked on the learn-more link about the kinds of studies and data and it was all seemed...pretty much fine actually?

Also, to their credit, when you click on the learn-more links, look I'm not a techie but I was raised by programmers so maybe I'm not the best judge of this but it seems like they've really put the work in in making it comprehensible and plain language. It's not an EULA wrapped in five levels of niche jargon and legalese, they're legit trying to let you know what they mean in clear language.

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol
