前言 Like many of us, you are a Smalltalker at heart! – John Maloney Thanks to MicroBlocks and Snap!, we are not homeless –wenjie 在制作完 Snap! 中的 CoCube 库 后, 我发现这个库的大多数工作都是通用的, 我们可以将其用于任何 MicroBlocks 设备! 通过
Reminder: here is the first paper of CoCube
The previous article mentioned:
Dr. Liang created a desktop-level robot named “CoCube” (Collaborative-Cube). CoCube uses MicroBlocks as its programming environment. CoCube has many similar features to toio, but also some capabilities that toio does not have, such as extensible hardware interfaces and a closer integration with MicroBlocks.
Recently, I make a CoCube library for Snap!
Motivation CoCube can already be programmed in MicroBlocks (thanks to Dr.
中文版本 Preface My interest in 3D environments came from this paper by Croquet team. I learned this perspective on interactive graphical computing from Alan Kay: the power of desktop metaphor/GUI is psychological, it create a “illusion” for users, as if things are right there on the screen, so users can transfer their real-world experience, just like dealing with physical objects, to interacting with virtual objects on the
中文版本 Preface The <iframe> HTML element represents a nested browsing context, embedding another HTML page into the current one. – iframe I want to have a iframe library that can bring Internet resources into Snap! through iframe element and interoperate with Snap!. With it, we can do many interesting things: Display markdown documents programmatically Display instructional video programmatically Display online slides programmatically Introducing 3D world/game, and using
中文版本 Preface I previously wrote an article discussing the AI assistant in graphical programming environment. The experiment at that time showed some interesting possibilities, but it was not practical. With the release of GPT-4o, especially the improvement of multimodal capabilities (audio stream and video stream APIs will be released soon), the AI assistant (or tutor) in graphical programming environment has become truly attractive: you can communicate with
