Concentration game?

I remember this coming up a year or so ago, but I don’t remember the solution.

 

I have a student who’d like to create a concentration-type matching game where the cards that don’t match reveal an image temporarily, then “flip” back over. If they do match, then they stay revealed.

 

She has been able to have a temporary reveal, but this could get really complicated with just a few pairs of cards.

 

Thanks for your help! Sorry this is a repeat question!

Re: Concentration game?

Hannah,


I created a sample project here to help folks create their own memorize/concentration games.

It has the functionality I believe Hannah is looking for.  If not, send and email to the list (so others can learn as well) and I will help however I can.

GSoC projects

Hi,


I was starting to grade the GSoC projects and I was surprised to find "Get Etoys image to run on CogVM" was not accepted. 
May I ask why? I was hoping this project would get elected.

Best regards,
Richo

Possibly no student applied for it?

But better ask on the mentors list, the squeakland folks will hardly know :)

Re: GSoC projects

There was one student interested and invited but he did not send a proposal.

He did send a proposal to port the  H.264 video format to Etoys.

[ANN] Physical Etoys 2.0 released!

Hi everybody (and sorry if you receive multiple copies),


I would like to announce a new version of Physical Etoys, now with a lot of new features:
  1. First of all, it's based on Etoys 5.0 so it incorporates all the bug-fixes and new features from the Etoys release.
  2. We are now focusing on the two main hardware platforms: Arduino and Lego Mindstorms Nxt. For the rest, we will publish a set of "external modules" that you can install in your Physical Etoys version.
  3. Also, we now support an argentinian version of Arduino, which is called DuinoBot and it's currently being used in a lot of argentinian schools.
  4. We added new devices for arduino and now we also support the use of digital devices attached to analog pins.
  5. We added two new objects that let you graph the input of a variable across time and save it to a csv file.
  6. We added a new programming mode that lets you compile your scripts and have them running inside the robot, in contrast to running them in the computer and communicate with the robot via bluetooth or usb. We believe this opens a lot of new posibilities for the Physical Etoys users.
  7. And finally, we fixed a lot of bugs that make the software a lot more stable (or so we hope :).
I would like to use this opportunity to publicly thank all the people from the Etoys community for their work on Etoys 5, this latest version is much better than the last and I encourage you all to try it.
And also, I would like to announce that Physical Etoys 2.0 is going to be installed by default on all the laptops of the "Conectar igualdad" program, which is kind of like the argentinian version of OLPC (but for older students). So we are *really* excited about this!

Now that you're all as excited as we are :) you can download and try Physical Etoys 2.0 from our blog: http://tecnodacta.com.ar/gira/projects/physical-etoys/.

Cheers,
Richo

Interfacing with Arduino is very cool.  It is high on my list of things to play with (as time permits)

Hi Ben, 

Now in case you ever need anything more industrial/powerful (but more costly) here are a couple of things I have been kept a wishful eye on for a couple of years (but I have not yet had time to play with). I share this on the random chance someone gets interested in it before I get a chance to play - hopefully early next year.

Well, I don't think it's really fair to compare these computers with arduino :) but if you happen to play with one of those let us know your results. What I would like is to get my hands on a Raspberry Pi now.

Cheers,
Richo

Congratulation.
Project looks great.
Getting a Lego Robot is on my list of stuff I want if I ever have any excess money :-)

Thanks Karl, Lego is a little expensive but it's a lot of fun :)
