Great idea. Slightly different book.<br>
<br>
One problem I have with Erudite is keeping all the book text in the <br>
image -- makes it a bit bigger. But memory is cheap these days and that <br>
is probably my quirk.<br>
<br>
The major difference I see is in creating a process to track/manage and <br>
manage reader/learner/coder/user progress.<br>
<br>
Small things and big things. Erudite is great for the small code <br>
examples and challenges.<br>
<br>
As one is learning and using Cuis tools (Code Browser, Debugger, Package <br>
Browser, Workspace) one must leave the Erudite book to actually use the <br>
tools. One is also probably saving and reloading an image and a/the <br>
Starwars! package.<br>
<br>
How is this done without confusion to the learner?<br>
<br>
To maintain clarity in the Erudite version, the small things <br>
(samples/challenges within Erudite) must be marked out from the big <br>
things (leave Erudite to use Cuis tools).<br>
<br>
When to save the image and when to save the Starwars! package must be <br>
very clear.<br>
<br>
It might be a good idea to have some check-list or thermometer-gauge to <br>
track the user's progress through construction of Startwars!.<br>
<br>
For the right person(s) this could be fun!<br>
<br>
Is it fun for you?<br>
