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.
A couple of years ago, Jeroen Vermeulen ported Cherry Bomb to RISC OS, a shoot ’em up – aka a ‘shmup’ according to its original developer, Krystian Majewski – in which you control a ship at the bottom of the screen, and shoot down the incoming waves of alien attackers.
Well, in the context of ROUGOL, anyway. If you regularly attend the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) meetings – whether in person or online – you’ll know when the meetings will take place each month; it’s easy enough to remember, being – unless circumstances force a change – the third Monday of each month, with December often being an exception because of the proximity to Christmas. What you usually won’t know until much closer to each meeting day, though, it’s what the meeting subject will be.
The next friendly fireside chat for people interested in RISC OS software development will take place at 7:30pm on Saturday, 5th July. Taking place online via the Zoom video conferencing service, these meetings are intended as an informal way of allowing RISC OS programmers, and anyone interested in the subject, to get together online to discuss relevant matters.
Anyone interesting in software development on or for (or even of) RISC OS is once again invited to get together online for another friendly fireside chat, with the next meeting scheduled for 7:30pm on Saturday, 31st May.
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.
