Coding
Faust Playground
Start audio processing with a flow diagram like language in the browser. OMG! Amazing!
Arcade Makecode
A block-coding/javascript tool (like Scratch) aimed at creating games for things like Raspberry Pi (small computers)
Google Colab
Google Colab Notebooks are documents where you can mix notes and Python code.
They are brilliant for creating teaching resources, or, working on a project where you are figuring it out as you go, because you can create little fragments of code, and run them one at a time.
BitBox
Designed for kids (and very like p5js), BitBox is great for learning coding. It has lots of "stamps" and sounds built in.
StriveMath
Really interesting collaborative Processing (but the Python version) code editor. Useful for teaching?
Hydra
Crazy livecoding tool for visual effects. Learn a few functions, chain them together, and boom! Crazy!
Hyperscript
With some Hypercard influence (if you can even have that in a markup language)... this looks very interesting... A coding framework for making web pages that sees the return of me and it. I made this in no time at all.
OctoStudio
Fabulous Scratch-based authoring system (on mobile) that has better connection to the devices gyroscope, camera, light etc.
MIT App Inventor
MIT App Inventor is a block-coding tool with which you can create downloadable Android applications as .apk files, FOR FREE!
Godot Engine
Free, open source games development environment. One day, I'll get round to having a go with Godot.
Collection of ML Tools for Art
Great collection of Machine Learning for Art projects, all with code samples.
PocketBase
Small database for Javascript dev... looks like it might be powerful and useful to use on Glitch.com. It's SQLite under the hood but has things like authentication which appeals to me as a hobby dev.
CodeConvert
These tools never work. This one worked perfectly, converting a few pages of Javascript with Cheerio code, to Python with BeautifulSoup code.
Scratch Gallery
Scratch is an amazing block-coding tool, a place where kids learn all they need to know about coding concepts. It's amazing what you can do with Scratch, go explore and have fun.
Fantastic List of Generative Tools
From creating maps, to languagues, to dungeons or artwork, this list has lots of generative tools to help you.
There are end-user tools, code frameworks, free tools, paid tools and lots I'd never heard of.
The Life And Times of Yahoo Pipes
Yahoo pipes, a visual data plumbing tool was one of the really cool tools/ideas of the dotcom era. You can see a little of it in Orange3 or Enso (check them out too).
Three.js
Three.js is code to help create web 3D. Explore the creations people have made with Three.js.
Lauren presents p5js
Lauren both introduces the making of p5js and demonstrates how totally cool p5js is, highlighting some of it best features.
Machine Learning For Kids
Lots of worksheets to do really amazing projects with machine learning and Scratch!
That Creative Code Page
A lovely collection of the common algorithms used for lots of creative coding pieces.
MIT App Invention of the Month
A gallery of great apps and games made with MIT App Inventor, and the best thing is, you can look at the code to see how they did it, or remix an app to make your own version.
Best Thunkable Apps 2019
Nice list of the sorts of apps you can make with the block-coding (like Scratch) tool, Thunkable.
MIT App Inventor Extensions
Thunkable is based on a very similar free tool call MIT App Inventor. Because lots of people create Extensions for it, that also work with Thunkable, you can find extra code, called Extensions which do everything from rotation detection, to sound analysis, to QR code recognition and connecting to other devices.
List of Text Editors
Choosing a text editor for coding is a very personal choice. Some have "too many" features, others are too simple. You may need to try more than a few to find one that you like working in, but it's not until you start on an actual project, that you'll be really able to tell.
