As someone whose background is mostly in Java and C/C++, the following list is what I like about Python syntax (the list is growing as I learn more about Python).

InkScape is a “Linux, Windows & OSX vector graphics editor (SVG format) featuring transparency, gradients, node editing, pattern fills, PNG export, and more. Aiming for capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, Visio, etc.” (description taken from InksScape SourceForge site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/)

Version:  0.48

In this post, I’d like to share the tips that I use all the time while using InksScape to write a game programming book

This tutorial shows how to create a simple HTML5 application in Aptana Studio

This post shows you how to create a simple project in Eclipse using SmartGWT.

In this lesson, we will make the Board class check the game progress and stop the game once someone has won. I will then introduce the concept of Java Arrays. We will add code to constantly check whether three game balls of the same color has lined up and to mark those winning game balls.

In the last lesson (Lesson 2), we created the Tic-Tac-Toe Board and GameBall classes. We also added GameBall objects to the Board object. In this lesson, we will add a Player class such that a Player object interacts with GameBall objects in a meaningful way.

In this lesson, we will create a Tic-Tac-Toe game board and add game pieces to it.

If you are familiar with Scratch and would like to learn more on programming. Java with Greenfoot is a great choice.

In this lesson, we will test the water by looking at a sample Greenfoot project called “wombats”.
