Code reimagined

Congratulations to Lynckia, now called Licode for wining the CUSL contest. They really made a good work.

CodeReimagined keeps adding new features, and a paper has recently been submitted to SEED (Simposio Español de Entretemimieto Digial).

And the winner is… Zomblind! Congratulations. They made a great audio-game for blind people (but also for anyone who likes games of zombies).

Code Reimagined,  Osgiliath,  Truco, and Daf Collage were awarded with an accesit. Here is de presentation I made with Prezi:

Tomorrow is the local final in Granada of the CUSL contest. I will show a brief presentation about the project, its development and some results. I’ll post the presentation here as soon as I finish it. I don’t expect to win at all but everything could happen… who knows. See you there (ETSIIT, salón de grados at 9:30am). Ah! the school’s anniversary is too, you all are invited to this nice fiesta.

Last weekend Maryo continued his adventure at Spiral StartUp facilities. We were given there a beautiful space to work and have some fun all together. The result: now you can see Maryo walking over the code as you move the caret on it. Here is a screen capture:

Finally a new opportunity for Code Reimagined to leverage great talents from IT school  in Granada (and make steps forward) has arisen from the arrangement of another hackathon meeting. This time will be at Spiral Startups, during the weekend of April, 19th. If you feel strong, healthy and you like classic games and programming, you are invited to participate and also have some fun with us. Thanks!

We are still working on our project, and we have made some improvements! Now you can choose the Debug Mode!! With this tool you will be able to see rectangles defining methods, variables and more! This way will be even easier to understand the code. Here is an image so you can figure out what we are talking about:

With the button in the right top you can choose between normal mode and th[...]

Today we have received this e-mail from Christopher Guindon (Eclipse MarketPlace Support):

thank you for submitting Code Reimagined to Eclipse Marketplace. Unfortunately your listing cant be approved because it’s listed under the Eclipse Juno Market. This is only for projects that were in the Juno release train : http://eclipse.org/juno/projects.php

Please update your listing under a different Market and I[...]

Today, March the 11th is the last #5Hackathon day.

We have to make the last changes, and prepare our presentation to the people.

Yeah!! We have uploaded our Code-Reimagined to Eclipse MarketPlace!! So, now, everybody can use it, and make feedback. Nice!!

This is the second day of the 5th Hackathon.

Yesterday, the first day we had an introduce to the “Code-Reimagined Project”: The Java tree… how do we use it for paint our Maryo level… How to choose the images…

Today, the second day, we have been working to change the original Mario images to Open Source “Secret Mario” images –> http://www.secretmaryo.org/ for have a full Open Source “Code-Reimagined” plugin for Eclip[...]

Several interesting projects are presenting their prototypes today in the #5hackathon. Good luck to all, and lets have some fun .

The project is now on GitHub:
github.com/javiplay/code-reimagined.git
I am now getting familiar with git (distributed control version). To get started, you could try EGIT, an Eclipse plugin to manage git. Git stores the entire repository on your disk, so the trick is on merging branches. The push command will upload all the local changes made in your current branch to the cloud. If you are used to Subversion, (or any other centralized control version system) be warned that you hav[...]

Forget the last entry because the project is now being migrated to GIT. As soon as possible, I’ll post some instructions to get started with this (first, I have to learn, I expect not to lose the commits for the contest, not with luck!!).

First we need to download Eclipse, at the moment, INDIGO release. I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Next, install Subversive. The project is in https://forja.rediris.es/svn/code-reimagined, svn 1.4. Now create a new project from SVN in eclipse and tell it to find projects inside. The project is called SuperMarioCode. That’s all. Now you can debug it! .

Next February 26th at 10:00 in the OSL-UGR, I’m giving a short presentation about Code Re-imagined. I want to take this opportunity to show the advantages of make the code friendlier (yes, it’s possible). I’ll post here the link to the presentation (once done). See you there!
