= Hello Neo

Welcome to the helloneo.ca website.

This is a wiki in which I record the way in which I taught programming to my son, Neo, since he was eight years old. He's much older now, and I have updated these lessons as I continue to teach programming to other kids.

== NKJC Season 1
* [[NKJC-1|Nankuang Java Course (Season 1)]] -- This course is aimed at senior high school students.

== Season 1: PHP
* [[Season 1 PHP]]


== Python Season 1
Python Season 1 introduces all the basic data types and concepts such as classes.

* [[Roger]]
* [[Basics]]
* [[Basics II]] Random Numbers
* [[Basics III]] List Structure -- Advanced
* [[Functions]] The fourth lesson in this series.
* [[Lists]] The fifth lesson in this series
* [[Lists II]] Lesson six, about data structures.
* [[PyHang Game]] -- Hangman -- a simple game which illustrates the use of lists and string indexing.
* [[Dice Class]] -- Classes and String Operations
* [[PyBog]] -- Word search game, operating on a 2d array(list).
* [[Recursion in Python]] -- recursion examples

== Python Season 2
When teaching people with more experience and with longer classes (ex. 2h).
* [[TimeMath]] -- time.perf_ns and some math.
* [[PySPS]] -- Scissor Paper Stone in Python. Usually taught over 2 classes (see notes).
* [[PyHang]] -- Usually the second lesson.

=== To Be Done
* [[PyType]] -- A typing game to reinforce lessons and introduce time.time_ns() etc. 
* [[PyQuest I]] -- A simple A/B/C adventure game. Can introduce classes here.
* [[PyRobots]] -- robots in pure text in python

(At this point we can probably introduce pygame).

== PyGame Framework
Sometime during season 2 or 3 we may develop this.
* [[PyGame Framework]]

=== Fonts and other things used in these projects
* Press Start 2P (an arcade font) {{:pressstart2p.ttf.zip|}}
* CLACON2 (Classic Console 2) {{:clacon2.ttf.zip |}}
* IBM VGA 8x16 (based on 8x14 EGA) {{:pxplus_ibm_vga8.ttf.zip |}}
* IBM VGA 9x16 The most well-known VGA text font. {{:p5bg:pxplus_ibm_vga_9x16.ttf.zip |}}

* Example 'Logo' file {{:logo32x32.png?linkonly|}}

=== Sprites
* [[PyGame Sprites I]] -- Introducing Pygame Sprites





== Python Season 3
Python season 2 demonsrates how the basic concepts can be used by making games out of them! Since it is a more advanced class, we will structure most of the games around the [[PyGame Terminal]], however, we will not always use it.

* [[Pygame Terminal]]
* [[PyMaze]] -- a simple maze game in python, illustrating classes and maze algorithms
* [[Robots]] -- in PyGame Terminal
* [[Turtle]] Suite
* Adventure Game

== Python Season 4
* [[tkinter pack]] The pack tutorial, featuring codemaster 1.0.
* [[tkinter calc]] The basic calculator, teaching .grid() and exploring classes for windows.
* [[tkinter calc ii]] Teaching binding, to increase User Experience.
* [[tkinter menus]]
* [[tkinter quiz show]] The Quiz Show! A quiz game, featuring radio buttons and more!

== Python Season 5
