Lua Carousel now comes with a comprehensive system of online help you can run on computer or phone:

A tutorial for using it tailored towards programmers
Exercises for learning programming
Lots of example programs you can run right from within it, clone and remix
Reference documentation for available capabilities, while carefully exposing the level in the stack that provides them. (I believe this is critical information for people to be aware of. Abstracting it is counter-productive.)

Try it out by installing LÖVE for your platform. It's completely open source and live editable on a computer.

🧵 conversation

I've been reading various books on architecture theory and (obviously) thinking how the ideas there might apply to programming. It is all still very much early ideas (basically trying to find programming equivalents for lots of interesting ideas I came across) - but I would love to hear what people think about it: tomasp.net/architecture

(There is also a PDF version)

Anyone wanna work through SICP with me? I tried a few years ago when I was picking up programming, but I was in over my head.

I think I could swing it now. It'd be cool to learn Clojure after as well.

Neat article from lobste.rs, I have almost the exact opposite habits so its cool to see another perspective

One of the most important but least discussed concepts in software design is creating interfaces which aren't perfect for anything, but which are perfect for everything. Ex. files, DAOs, contexts, spreadsheets, ...

🧵 conversation

I’m always on the lookout for new programming interfaces in games and tools for making games since it’s one of the commercial spaces where folks focus on innovative graphical programming systems.

Was excited to discover this new (to me) game maker this morning .

Bring your stories and ideas to life! RPG in a Box lets you create games and other interactive experiences in a fun and simple way!

During the opening of the conference, Omar honed in on the subversive nature of the screenshot. In popular computing, it circumvents the app siloes that define our contemporary digital ecosystems. A screenshot doesn't need a log in, bypasses DRMs, and is interoperable in practically every single computational device. Even in the "high-culture" of computing, where text is dominant, screenshots prove subversive.

...

And yet, to imagine what an image-oriented computer might be seems to offer a new avant-garde for computing.
