VPython

VPython makes it easy to create navigable 3D displays and animations, even for those with limited programming experience.

@QuantumBrandon Probably. I don’t want to leave my personal contact info in the system. But not any time soon.

I am in the process of migrating this feed to Mastodon. Watch this space for confirmation when that has happened.

[VPython @VPython_Code]

If @WebVPython and @VPython_Code were to move to Mastodon, would you prefer two feeds or one for both entities? Does it matter?

I hope your semester is off to a great start! Let us know how you're using VPython by tweeting about your activities, labs, assignments, research, etc. and tagging us! The community needs you! #ITeachPhysics

Great update by @veritasium to his original (excellent) video on energy transmission in a circuit. The shout-out to M&I is quite appreciated (@VPython_Code, @aaronptitus). Definitely watch his if you teach circuits #ITeachPhysics https://t.co/W0m6ldphwd

Should I make a presence on Mastodon?

[VPython @VPython_Code]

@WBrianLane Both channels are equally freaking awesome!

From Sherwood: When you click "Share or export this program" you now should see a link to download an HTML file containing your transpiled JavaScript program, which can be loaded into a browser and the program should run.

You can now access https://t.co/yuHZPdLMqN with https:// so you can update your bookmarks!

@WebVPyton THBBBBBT! We’re a bit jealous here. “VPython” is taken by someone who apparently hasn’t tweeted since 2010. I wonder if @TwitterSupport could free up that handle for us? How ‘bout it y’all?

[Web VPython @WebVPython]

BIG NEWS: Effective immediately, GlowScript will be referred to as Web VPython. This is to avoid confusion with other languages named “GlowScript.” Please make appropriate updates!

https://t.co/yuHZPdub2d should now work.

[VPython @VPython_Code]

VPython 7.6.2 has been available for some time. I completely forgot to announce it here.

[Dan Mazur @QEDanMazur]

@VPython_Code is really great. One minute you're wondering what it's like to play baseball in the artificial gravity of an O'Neill cylinder. A few minutes later, you have a simulation of projectile motion with Coriolis and centrifugal forces with plots and everything.
