Miúdo doente em casa, por isso aproveitei a deixa pra concretizar um plano de há muito: uma ferramenta para gerar puzzles de palavras cifradas. Uma vez ele tinha experimentado e adorado, e ocorreu-me que um script pra gerar puzzles era uma boa jogada.

Depois de procurar ícones, meia hora bastou para alinhar um script no #shoebot que faz sair PDF com a mensagem cifrada que quisermos.

Conseguimos descolá-lo da Ladybug e já vão 10 minutos a decifrar, por isso vitória?

#parentinghacks (na falta de cardiqueta melhor)

I wish the #Processing, #Python and #DrawBot communities had more interactions!

If you like the idea of drawing with code, and, better still, drawing with Python, and you don't have a crazy expensive Mac*, you should try #shoebot shoebot.net or #py5 py5coding.org (or even if you do have a crazy expensive Mac...)

You could use #Blender and #FreeCAD too! https://github.com/villares/Resources-for-teaching-programming

*In Brazil, a Mac mini costs (USD 1700) about 7 times the minimum wage (USD 228)

@spiff dont forget trying #shoebot !

So in June I'm trying my first thing-a-day-for-a-month project.

I'll be posting experiments made with #shoebot, a tool that i've been making with friends for the last 13 years, to draw with vector graphics in a simple drawing syntax.

First off, an output of some recent fun animating stroke dashes -- increasing their offset results in a pleasing smooth motion. This one is made out of 3 100-sided stars with varying dashed strokes.

If vector graphics, python, creative coding and/or pen plotters ring a bell, my LGM short talk presenting the new #Shoebot release will probably be of interest to you! In around 30 minutes: https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2021/en/live.html
