Code With Jim

Being able to code AR contents and experience very quickly and easily from iPad has always been my dream. Swift Playground app is simply the perfect candidate since we don't have XCode yet on iPadOS but we have this powerful coding app where we can code with Swift and interactively generate 3D Augmented Reality. And that's just one area that can help me to dig deeper into coding programming and eventually making a useful app. AR really presents users with the perfect immersive environment to create an interactive virtual 3D scenes and a lot more that they can simply drop into real life. The limit is only your imaginations. When Swift Playground AR capability paired with other AR app such as Reality Composer to quickly compose 3D scene, attach interactions, audio and behaviour, suddenly you have a very powerful setup for AR. And all can be done via the iPad. We are in luck however; Apparently we can already procedurally generate AR contents and experience since Swift 5.1 ...

IMAGE being drawn on top of each other on every loop. Each image is drawn on the position of mouse X and Y. Can you guess what image is this? Continuing with my Python Processing study. I wanted to touch on IMAGE object real soon because it is one of the most fun topic we can do pretty quickly and easily. While doing this, I am also looking at the provided example on IMAGE topic and also this YouTube video tutorial by John Park on Processing 3 (Java):  https://youtu.be/ddtdPO3m1hw What I am showing here is pretty basic however important for beginners and I am familiarizing myself with Python language for Processing. Instead of Java. The whole code looks like below, with some parts commented for you to try yourself: //Your code here //Be sure you escape your tags with < and > when displaying things like HTML. Few important notes: With Python, we do not seem have to explicitly specify the TYPE of object instance we are creating...

Back into Processing again, with Python! While Daniel Shiffman is continuously inspiring us with his CODING TRAIN series on YouTube, using Processing with Java and Javascript language, I decided to free my mind and trying to really do something using Processing and Python language. Installing Python language version on Processing 3 is easy enough, just first download the latest Processing and install the Python language mode via Add Mode button. Other link that might help: https://github.com/jdf/processing.py http://py.processing.org/tutorials/ BLANK MODE As soon as Processing Python Mode, opens up and running I am presented with a  blank environment. Suddenly I recalled my journey in learning programming from zero until now... With Python, outside Processing, commonly people will be introduced to Python IDE or IDLE environment. Something that looks like Console Window or Command Prompt, where we type single liners command. Python Command Line and IDE normally ha...

This is my first little program created using BeetleBlock. https://github.com/ericrosenbaum/BeetleBlocks I really like this program because similar to Scratch programming, it uses bunch of building blocks and it is interactive inside 3D environment. Still in beta version, but I would like to see how this can be used to learn and teach programming.
