There will be an out of schedule meeting held by the Midlands User Group (MUG), at which the group’s own John Rickman will discuss the use of StrongED as a scripting tool when programming in Python.
For the next Wakefield RISC OS User Group (WROCC) meeting the group is once again returning to the virtual world, with a meeting held over the Zoom video conferencing service, and this month the guest speaker will be Chris Johns.
Back in February, Jeroen Vermeulen released a version of Infinite Bunner for RISC OS, and soon followed that with a version of Cavern – both games published in the book Code the Classics volume 1, available from Raspberry Pi Trading.
Sorry, I mean, discuss Python with the Midlands User Group The Midlands User Group (MUG) will be holding their next meeting on Saturday (6th March, 2021), starting at 2:00pm, at which the Python programming language will be the subject of discussion.
RISC OS Developments Ltd has announced that the work that has been underway for some while by Chris Johns and others to bring Python 3 to the platform has now seen fruition, with the latest version of the very popular programming language now generally available.
The next ‘friendly fireside chat’ will take place on Saturday, 26th April1, offering anyone with an interest in RISC OS development the chance to get together (online) and discuss anything and everything related to that topic.
Jeroen Vermeulen has turned his gaze upon another title in the Code the Classics Volume II tome, and successfully brought it to RISC OS. This time the game is Leading Edge, a racing game inspired by the classic Pole Position.
With the release of a second edition of Code the Classics from the Raspberry Pi stable (Side note; there’s apparently now a Code the Classics Volume II from Raspberry Pi Press, with their interpretations of another five classic games!) Jeroen Vermeulen has set his sights once again on creating RISC OS versions of the games included within its covers – and the first of these is now available.
With Wi-Fi and web browser! Some very welcome news from RISC OS Developments, just a couple of days before London 2024 is the release of RISC OS Direct 5.31 – which includes a new internet stack and Wi-Fi facilities, as well as Iris, the web browser the company has been developing for quite some time.
The next friendly ‘fireside chat’ for people interested in software development for RISC OS will take place on Saturday, 30th September, with the official run time scheduled for 7:30pm.
