Ah, true.

Sorry to break it to you, but Snap! is Lisp.  (Scheme, to be exact.)

I've actually gone through a few of the Simply Scheme exercises with Snap!.

You can use / monadically, you know.  And you can (apply + <list>).

Thank! Just trying to learn lisp here...    I think I read a blog post about monadic things but it missed me completely. Can you explain? And dang, I forgot lisp operators take multiple arguments by default!

What's the best (most SICP-like) Scheme for OS X, btw? Racket seems okay, but I noticed a few minor syntax differences...

EDIT: okay, so I assume by "use / monadically" you mean that you can do

    '(1 1/2 1/3)

We use a locally modified STk: http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~scheme

I'll try that, thanks.

Folks, I need to give a presentation about Snap! next week, and I'd love to show off some of your interesting (small) projects that have been published in the Snap Cloud. Please post a few links on this thread, if you can spare the time. Thanks!

I could share my NXTKart project, if you want.

One Lisp without all these Lists of Insipid and Stupid Parenthesis !

@Hardmath123: can you fix snapin8r to convert this project for me? 

python snapin8r.py -p 10086980 -open

Snapin8r runs successfuly, but Snap! gives "TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'setContents'".

Share your project, please.

Also, were you serious about hosting a webpage for downloading Snap! for different platforms? If so, then can someone with Windows help package snapin8r for Windows? I can handle the Linux and Mac distributions with Python 2(.7), but not for Python 3:

Mac/Linux:
- Python 2.7
- Python 3.0: I can blindly 2to3 it, but no guarantee it will work.

Windows
- Python 2.7 (do we even need it?)
- Python 3.0

EDIT: I build a cool-looking (IMO) webpage. I'll have it up by tomorrow (hopefully!).

Here is my current design for the Snapin8r site. (the buttons don't work because I want to fix some bugs before actually releasing it).

What do you think? Is the design overkill?

Yeah, I agree.

were you serious about hosting a webpage

Am I ever serious?

Of course…

…not.

Umm... I can certainly put the snapin8r sources on github for you, and host static HTML on a github pages (though honestly, you should just create a github account!). If the downloaders are small, I think it might be okay to put them on github pages too, but I don't think they like large binary files very much.

I'll manage with gdocs, thanks.

A note about 2to3: I'd definitely test your project with it first before saying anywhere that you support Python 3 in any way. It's a little tricky, as I understand it. 

True—anyone here have Python 3?

Share your project, please.

Meh.    *sulks in corner*

  Fine. *turns around and closes ears*

  Yeah, you aren't ever serious, are you?

Kurt 2 progress, iyi — I'm working on converting between v1.4 and the new Kurt. Progress is painfully slow, but I've now got variable and list watchers perfect.

Scripts are up next — so I need to work on the code for converting those...

The other next thing to do is to inject a load of magic into Kurt, so that objects that need to keep track of their parents do so automagically. (For example, renaming a Variable should update the key in any MediaDicts that contain the variable; adding an actor to a project should set the actor's `project` attribute... and so on.)

Oh, and remove the underlining on "Download", "2.7", "3.0" — it makes them look like links and I want to click them 

"External links" should be wrapped in an <a> and have an id, if you're going to put that # after it on hover.

Also consider doing something like

    *:target {
        background: rgba(245, 255, 0, 0.71);
    }

WebKit-only goodie. I could theoretically support FF and Opera, but I figured if you're  die-hard Snap!per, you would (should!) probably have Chrome or Safari.

The first law of web design:  Do not override only one of the user's chosen background color and the user's chosen foreground color.  Either do it the user's way or do it your way.

White lettering on pale orange background is unreadable.

(And if, in self-defense, I turn off "allow pages to override these colors," then I can't see the black-on-black Apple logos.  They need a white border or something.)

Does "recommended" mean "what I have on my computer"?  It makes me nervous when someone makes a recommendation without a reason given; I don't know how much weight to give the recommendation.  Python 3 is... buggy? insecure? hideous? expensive?  I'd prefer a straightforward "Snapin8r requires Python 2."  (But making it really work in 3 would be better still, of course.)

(By the way, language designers who make gratuitous non-backward-compatible changes to their language are extremely annoying.  Just thought I'd mention it.  Why is it you like Python, again?)
