  • In my experience, the best pipeline is GDScript > Python > (HTML/CSS/JS) > Then branch out depending on needs/interest. My students are 10-15 year-olds, and throwing them directly into something like C# would not work.

    Almost all students are extremely aversive to coding at first. Godot is brilliant in the way they can build most things visually at first, getting them invested in their games before programming with all its debugging and hair-ripping is introduced.

    I also recently discovered the Block Coding Addon for Godot, which has been a game changer for my dyslexic students.








  • Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I am usually a huge SciFi fan, but I like the genre for it’s ability to reflect on humanity by extrapolating on current technologies/trends or comparing our culture to unique alien ones.

    Revelation Space was technobabble and descriptions of weapons for pages upon pages, and it was totally devoid of any philosophy or reflection on humanity. I never DNF a book, but this one I almost gave up on.
