iPad App Development with Python
summary
School uses Pythonista on iPads with a full Python 2/3 interpreter so students code entirely on device and deploy to the App Store under the school developer account. Projects include BoxScape, Third Law (a text-based level engine with 100 levels), Square Blockade, Fan Run and Combo Crush; students implement frame-by-frame animation, touch handlers (touch_began/moved/ended), custom physics and gravity, simple collision math, timers and persistence using pickle saves, and even OpenGL shader experiments.
