10 CodeBug Projects in 10 Days

My boy drew a fish swimming in about 5 min with out help.  He loves the interacting web page.

}

How about a remote control--light or plugload?

Or add a sensor--like temperature or motion.

Combine the two to get something that turns on when someone walks in, or other trigger.

Get data from smart meter and display.

interesting idea, with Python and the codebug. Well I am thinking of a project to illustrate it in a python class (just bought a bunch of python for dummies books from Wiley's) and show how to access Google Analytics data and display it's data on the CodeBug.

At least partially I agree with you; as impaired children has limitations, the better way is to make something working, a strong representation of one or more concepts in the reality then move to a next level, sure ore complex.

I think, I would first work my way thru all the proposed projects and then, I think using it as a way to integrate yourself to your house or a certain area. You walk in and certain music would play, the lights would set or different things, depending on its potential and what it could "talk " to and interface with. I might be over-thinking it capabilities but I am sure it could work  if maybe combined with other codebugs programmed to run other devices.

I think it would be very useful to hearing impaired children. It could be used in classrooms at hearing impaired schools as a fun way for the children to interact with one another by sending messages or playing games as well as sparking an interest in programming. A  20 questions style game could be created where questions are asked and answered on the codebug. Attaching two buttons to the legs, you could press one for a negative response and the other for a positive. A very simple way to learn about coding and getting to know one another.

Great Idea! You have a CodeBug coming your way. Please DM me with your address and phone number to be sent out.

No worries.

Have fun coding. Just shout up if you have any issues or need people test it. The community is always happy to help.

true. please excuse my typo   I'll start to play with the emulator for the mini minesweeper. I think it might be a quite interesting project to show several concepts: not only game loop logics but also the ui and controlls have to be handled in a proper way.

Hi yjeanrenaud

Nice concepts there. In fact your minesweeper playing area would be slightly larger, because the grid is 5x5.
