Online Python Editor for Pokitto!

In the central US it is only 19:05 :thinking:… the officials are sleeping since it is long passed the middle of the night.

Is Pokitto MicroPython IDE down now?
Even if push play button, it doesn’t fade now.

Sorry for same question again, but I want to know offline way of building from .py to .bin.
I read about Embitz, but on backend of MicroPython IDE, it uses something CUI batch process, I suppose.
For example, can I use PlatformIO or something to build Python app? And how to do it?

If you have nodejs installed you can git clone the pyinsky repo and run it locally with a node server.

Finished up my entry! I would have added a few more things, like a title screen or sound effects, but I ran out of time. Still, I think it turned out fun, if a bit simple.

I’m excited to play all the other entries when I have time, because they look great!

Wow great stuff, thanks for your entry.

ok everybody,

I’ve just woken up so I guess we can now say this was the competition deadline.

The compo was so much fun that we have to do this again. I really enjoyed following how everyone worked and I am surprised at the number and the quality of games submitted in such a short time

We will now set up the technical stuff for streaming videos about the entries. For example, I will hook up a DSLR to video the games on hardware and build a remote-controlled pokitto, so that I won:t have to film my hands all the time :wink:

More on this soon, once again a big thank you to everyone, including all Pokitto fans who supported and motivated.

Doesn’t seem to be down now. It must have been asleep. To wake it up, just try again.

It is possible to build using embitz (and PlatformIO, I presume) but the process isn’t as quick and friendly.
One thing that will be a problem, if I remember correctly, is that you’re on Mac OS. Hanski’s scripts are Windows batch files and mine are for Linux. For pyinsky to run you’ll need to replace gcc-arm-none-eabi.

An offline and platform-independent version of the IDE is being planned.

Maybe install gcc-arm-none-eabi and jake, it can build on Mac too.
Thank you!

No need to install jake, the jake.js script in pyinsky is unrelated to the jake in npm.
All you need is to put gcc-arm-none-eabi in place of the one that’s included and install nodejs if you don’t have it already.

Updated Pyrates, it was accidentally an old version. @spinal could you update the zip also?

If you ask me, 18 sounds pretty awesome :slight_smile: My Mandelbrot was just a test, not meant as an entry :blush: Also sorry for not having posted any game, am kind of busy lately, but I’m really glad so many people did.

I would like to say a huge thank you to @FManga and @Hanski, it was my first time programming python but working with the online editor made it a great learning experience, i enjoyed every bit of it specially the sprite editor.

here’s an update to my game adding:

  • basic sound effect (i hope this work)
  • 5 more levels
  • fixing a bug
