Cool way to learn programming in a gradual way which works adults just as well as for kids: [Wayback/Archive] Felienne/hedy

Hedy is a gradual programming language to teach children programming. Gradual languages use different language levels, where each level adds new concepts and syntactic complexity. At the end of the Hedy level sequence, kids master a subset of syntactically valid Python.

veltman/clmystery: A command-line murder mystery; an interactive tutorial for learning the *n*x command-line

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/01/18

Since I’m on a series of interactive tutorial sites, yesterday’s The SQL Murder Mystery made me bump into a project by [Archive] Noah Veltman (@veltman) / Twitter: [Wayback/Archive] veltman/clmystery: A command-line murder mystery

There’s been a murder in Terminal City, and TCPD needs your help.

To figure out whodunit, you need access to a command line.

Once you’re ready, clone this repo, or download it as a zip file.

Open a Terminal, go to the location of the files, and start by reading the file ‘instructions’.

I did a quick [Archive] clmystery – Twitter Search / Twitter and found the first ever Twitter mention to be this one from 2013 (boy, have I been living under a stone <g>): [Archive] RoR Group on Twitter: “A command-line murder mystery (clmystery) …” / Twitter.

Cool things:
