I guess that's true. The site navigation is all in English as you say as well. However, of the French people we have had that joined, many of them say "Sorry for my bad English". I usually find this to be a false statement, as many of them speak decently well. I guess the overall population doesn't as much though. I'd still encourage people to join if they have basic English skills. We try to be accommodating and open, and programming itself is somewhat universal. Google translate has also improved quite a bit in recent years. French to English translation is usually pretty decent these days, though I'm unsure about the other way around.
C'mon guys, that's a non-problem really. IMO, they should just join in and start participating using simple sentences. I'm pretty sure the average french student can read English quite well nowadays (speaking might be another matter, though). Especially when they do some sort of programming studies. Yeah, a bit off-topic .
But anyway, we're going off-topic...
Well, I made this post very active with only one off-topic sentence...So let's get rid of any misunderstanding and stop talking about it.I just wanted to specify that :1) If I want my students to know something about their calculators I get them first to TI-Planet,2) If they want a little more, I talk about Omnimaga too... but a bunch of my students are afraid about writing... even in french, not considering english writing as a possibility. Their abilities are maths, physics and a bit on computer science... that's it.
To get back on topic, I'm pretty impressed by this new release.I just wanted to know if it is planned to :1) use UTF8 encoding ?
2) let users choose the place for MicroPython run ?
I tried this last night, and I must say I'm impressed. It's really smooth and responsive,
and the run-from-editor function is really useful. One very silly thing that could be improved (in my arrogant and honest opinion) is the mouse pointer; IMO it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the program.But put that at the bottom of your todo list
What would you change? Behavior, appearance?
The mouse behavior is good. But like Ivoah said, it's a little bit too large, and IMO it could just be a 2-color sprite instead of all this anti-aliased fancyness. Yes, I'm telling you that the cursor looks too good Let me whip up a quick example of what I'd find a good cursor.
