The ongoing quest for organisation - Pygrr

So, Pygrr's pretty near to the alpha release, woop woop! There are only a few more features to do...

In case you hadn't noticed, blog posts stopped for a while - I was on holiday for a week! It's nice to relax, and I have so many new ideas for Pygrr...

So, there are only a few more things to do for Pygrr, and I have them all written down on bits of paper and sticky notes. Surely there's a better way to do this?

Well, there is! There are several free services available to create workboards for your projects! I'm gonna use Trello, as it suits my purpose perfectly!

Boom, Pygrr has a Trelloboard! Aaand, I've put a lot of cards on the Pygrr Trelloboard already! Let's make it public so you guys can see my progress and what's left to do...

And that's all for this post, not much to it, but a nice little update!

Messing around with procedural art - Turtle graphics

Let's take a short break from Pygrr to delve back into the world of Turtle graphics. Turtle graphics: an introduction Well, what are they? Turtle graphics are a simple vector graphic system in programming that uses a relative cursor known as a Turtle to plot data onto a Cartesian plane. Nice, that didn't clear it up at all! To put it simply, Turtle graphics are a type of programming concept where an object (consider it a "pen") is moved around a 2D canvas, drawing wherever it goes! Most people who know Python will be aware of the Turtle module - this is a Pythonic implementation of Turtle graphics (fun fact: it uses Tkinter too, like Pygrr!). Turtle graphics are a key feature of the programming language "Logo". Uses of Turtle graphics Turtle graphics are a popular way to introduce programming to kids, and are often used for this! They are also used as a quick way to implement graphic representation of data when debugging or writing code, as they are super ea

Blog post #0 - Hello, world!

From humble beginnings... Hi, I'm Isaac. I've been in the programming world for almost 7 years now! I started this blog to share my love of fossils and coding with you guys, the world. I'm obsessed with palaeontology, and I have a real passion for teaching others what I love, be it programming, game development, or fossil things. What am I up to? Well, you'll have to wait and see... Just kidding, I'm currently working on: A voxel (3D cube, game) engine as a basis for many other games I have planned A free Python (programming language) library for game development, called "Pygrr"... You'll see more on this very soon! Nice to meet you all, if you feel the sudden urge to send me an email, head over to my "about me" page! Isaac, over and out...

The fossils of Morocco | Mosasaurus beaugei

Finally, another post! Life has been quite difficult recently, and I've had a lot of appointments in the hospital, and, combined with a much higher workload, I haven't had too much free time. Anyways, enough of that! A couple of weeks ago, I acquired a gorgeous fish and mosasaur association, from a seller on the web. It hails from the Cretaceous of Khouribga, Morocco, unprepped, just split out of the rock! Here's the fossil in question! Ignore the mess in the background... Can you believe this thing is 70.6 - 66 million years old!? Look at the sheer awesome preservation on that fish spine; absolutely stunning! So, story time. The tooth is from the species "Mosasaurus beaugei" , a pretty large mosasaurine. Pictures from www.prehistoric-wildlife.com Here's a nice image (or, 2 images...) of the size of Mosasaurus (silhouette 16) against other mosasaurines, and a human. As yo
