@romillyc oops hadn't pushed the latest changes. Hope this didn't stop you experimenting... https://t.co/iT4SsqpBgd should be able to run like... cd modules; python3 -m vgkits.console.mainMenu

This pre-release webserver runs various Interactive Text games from a Vanguard board (or anything running Python 3)
https://t.co/eZx8m6Y4pu Learners write code like https://t.co/NG9wQOdX2u to build a simple interactive website. For a web-based chatroom see https://t.co/fhhwmsPzVq

Been preparing flashcards to teach python 3. Temporarily at https://t.co/CZksIqlI5G These flashcards are printed+laminated for our learners, but work as a (half-screen) presentation. Other half screen is a Python REPL connected to a Vanguard Rainbow ( https://t.co/4yBVVRsXWG )

Last day of registration is tomorrow!
Your project does not need to be finished for you to register — an idea or the beginnings of a creation is enough!
All projects are encouraged, in any language and hardware
Your project can be as simple or as complex as you like.

@HelsbyComputing Rotation cipher? https://t.co/zawn9lfbWV

@yacoder @github @Microsoft They are integrating it with Active Directory obviously.

@MarkLibrarian @MorecambeWest @MarkLibrarian we need you to follow for DM to arrange your paypal address and send those breadboards.

[💡@vgkits 🌈 @vgkits]

Have roughly 100pcs of these 800 point breadboards with power rails to give away to community and schools projects for the price of postage from UK, or pick up for free from our @MorecambeWest HQ. Usual Freecycle rules... https://t.co/6Ql77nsUfN

[💡@vgkits 🌈 @vgkits]

@Ka81 @SparkPenketh What will you be building?

[💡@vgkits 🌈 @vgkits]

@MarkLibrarian @MorecambeWest Should be possible. Just waiting to restock our 'small parcel' boxes then can pack up and weigh everyone's bundles and raise a PayPal for the stamps. Dispatch later this week. DM your PayPal.

[💡@vgkits 🌈 @vgkits]

@MWimpennyS @oomlout 25 might make more sense given how they're packed for shipping. I'll set a box aside while I wait for other requests to come in in case we need to split the boxes. DM me your PayPal address and I'll weigh them to find the cost of inland postage.

[💡@vgkits 🌈 @vgkits]

@jarvismail @MorecambeWest How many would you like?

[💡@vgkits 🌈 @vgkits]

@Isioviel @ForrisHilier @MorecambeWest @MWimpennyS @MarkLibrarian @scienceoxford @Isioviel I'll set aside a box of 25 (easier to dispatch). Pass on any you don't use. DM us next week.

[💡@vgkits 🌈 @vgkits]

@ForrisHilier @Raspberry_Pi Exactly their intended purpose! How many monitors?

[💡@vgkits 🌈 @vgkits]

We have an absolute ton of DVI-HDMI cables (from an old @Raspberry_Pi project) that we need to shift from our stockroom. Single cables; https://t.co/tZhhUToQrP or lots of 10; https://t.co/3HsxAzwiGK if you need larger quantities, or are a community project, get in touch.

@drjtwit This reference may help... https://t.co/g5Hu3jsr9M Will figure out where to link this information from https://t.co/WRXtB0IZo0

@drjtwit Great! What OS are you testing on?
