VPython

@QuantumBrandon Probably. I don’t want to leave my personal contact info in the system. But not any time soon.

@VPython_Code Will this feed be discontinued?

I am in the process of migrating this feed to Mastodon. Watch this space for confirmation when that has happened.

If @WebVPython and @VPython_Code were to move to Mastodon, would you prefer two feeds or one for both entities? Does it matter?

I hope your semester is off to a great start! Let us know how you're using VPython by tweeting about your activities, labs, assignments, research, etc. and tagging us! The community needs you! #ITeachPhysics

NEW: VPython 7.6.4 released! Thanks to @sspickle, @astronomatty, and John Coady. Also a new release of juperlab 3.14. See the changelog at github.com/vpython/vpytho… and get help on Groups at groups.google.com/g/vpython-users

Great update by @veritasium to his original (excellent) video on energy transmission in a circuit. The shout-out to M&I is quite appreciated (@VPython_Code, @aaronptitus). Definitely watch his if you teach circuits #ITeachPhysics youtu.be/oI_X2cMHNe0

Should I make a presence on Mastodon?

@WBrianLane Both channels are equally freaking awesome!

BREAKING!!!!!!

Physics YouTuber Mr. P Solver has finally discovered VPython! youtu.be/MtG9cueB548

From Sherwood: When you click "Share or export this program" you now should see a link to download an HTML file containing your transpiled JavaScript program, which can be loaded into a browser and the program should run.

Via Sherwood and @sspickle: VPython 7.6.3 has dropped! Currently works w/Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10. To Install: conda install -c vpython vpython or pip install vpython To Update: conda update -c vpython vpython or pip install -U vpython

NEW: It is now possible to use the download() function to write a file to your Downloads folder. glowscript.org/docs/VPythonDo…

You can now access webvpython.org with https:// so you can update your bookmarks!

@WebVPyton THBBBBBT! We’re a bit jealous here. “VPython” is taken by someone who apparently hasn’t tweeted since 2010. I wonder if @TwitterSupport could free up that handle for us? How ‘bout it y’all?

BIG NEWS: Effective immediately, GlowScript will be referred to as Web VPython. This is to avoid confusion with other languages named “GlowScript.” Please make appropriate updates! webvpython.org should now work.

VPython 7.6.2 has been available for some time. I completely forgot to announce it here.

@VPython_Code is really great. One minute you're wondering what it's like to play baseball in the artificial gravity of an O'Neill cylinder. A few minutes later, you have a simulation of projectile motion with Coriolis and centrifugal forces with plots and everything.
