I've been getting back into teaching kids programming 1:1. Of course, this time using Lua, LÖVE and Carousel. After a couple of months, it occurred to me to collect all my little impromptu puzzles and exercises into a single app anyone can go through on their own schedule.

Carousel Cards (LÖVE app, really just a zip file containing source code, 169KB)


    Lua Carousel showing 6 lines of text:

    What does this program do?
    If you don't know, guess!
    Then hit the 'run' button and check your answer.
    There are no penalties for answering wrong.

    print(3+4)

Nowhere near done yet. But it has 50 little "levels", each taking between a few seconds and a minute. A full game/curriculum might need 2000 levels or something.

Inspirations:
