PyperCard - A Pythonic HyperCard for Beginner Programmers

A re-implementation of Adafruit's CircuitPython PYOA module for non-CircuitPython computing environments. This module re-uses the JSON specification used to create HyperCard like "stacks" of states between which users transition in a choose-your-own-adventure style.

This is very much a first draft bodge. ;-)

Developer Setup

Git clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/ntoll/pypercard.git

(Recommended) Upgrade local pip:

pip install --upgrade pip

Make a virtualenv, then install the requirements:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Run the test suite:

make check

Try out some of the examples in the "examples" subdirectory (see the README therein for more information).

ToDo

• Test in non-Linux environments (Windows, OSX).
• Packaging for mobile (Android and iOS).
• Documentation ;-)
• Blockly based web application so beginners can easily generate the required JSON or Python code to build their application.
