Is more complicated than Scratch.
You need to install several things:
- Python 3.3 - I use the 32-bit version on Windows
- PyGame 1.9.1 - specifically use this version if you're on Windows, with 32-bit Python 3.3 as suggested above
- Pyro4 - to install this, I first had to install the unofficial Windows version of distribute and of pip then just
pip install Pyro4. - Later there may be a physics library.
- Sublime Text 3 - see the explanation of why this was chosen.
Check that you can access http://www.github.com and https://www.github.com/
Check that exercise 3, the network one, actually works.
Surprisingly awkward but this worked:
curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py sudo python3 distribute_setup.py python3 /usr/local/bin/easy_install pip export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/X11/include python3 /usr/local/bin/pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
