What I Accomplished This Week

I'm pleased to report that my contributions have been steadily progressing. Although I may have gone a bit slower than expected, the remaining part of my proposal is well on track. One notable task that I started working on was converting Reto3 into an activity, as mentioned in my proposal. This enhancement will add more value and interactivity to the project, enriching the learning experience for users.

Did I get stuck somewhere

Inevitably, I faced some challenges along the way. There were moments when I couldn't figure out the best approach to convert certain elements, leading to normal doubts and uncertainties. However, I am proud to share that I overcame these obstacles through perseverance, research, and reaching out for guidance when needed. With the support of my mentors and the community, I gained the confidence to navigate through the challenges and make progress.

Whats Next

As I look forward, there are still four weeks left in the GSoC journey, and I have two tasks pending. My goal is to complete one of these tasks by the end of next week, dedicating my time and focus to delivering a high-quality solution.

The second task requires two weeks of effort, and I am determined to give it my all, leveraging the remaining time to create an impactful and polished addition to the project.

With one week remaining after these tasks, I plan to prepare diligently for the end-term evaluation. This involves generating comprehensive tests, ensuring all aspects of my contributions are thoroughly tested and fixing any pending issues that may arise.

What I Accomplished This Week

I am thrilled to share that I successfully completed the mid-term evaluation and passed with flying colors!. This achievement marks an important milestone, validating the progress made during the first phase of my GSoC journey.

With the evaluation behind me, I wasted no time in diving into the next phase of my proposal. I embarked on new challenges, ready to build upon the foundations laid in the previous phase and take my project to the next level.

Did I get stuck somewhere

Fortunately, I did not encounter any major challenges this week. However, I did receive valuable feedback during the mid-term evaluation. I am grateful for this input as it provides me with insights and suggestions for improvement. I will diligently incorporate this feedback into my work during the next phase, ensuring that I continue to grow and deliver the best possible results.

Whats Next

Looking ahead, my focus for the upcoming weeks will be on getting my pending pull requests merged. I will work closely with the project community, addressing any feedback or suggestions to ensure the smooth integration of my contributions. This collaborative effort will bring us closer to the completion of this phase and the overall success of the project.

Additionally, I am excited to begin creating pygame exercises and other lessons using the groundwork laid in the previous phase. This phase will be a culmination of the skills and knowledge I have acquired so far, as I develop engaging and interactive content that will benefit learners in their educational journey.

What I Accomplished This Week

In the past week, my primary focus was on finalizing the changes and edits that were scheduled to be completed by the mid-term evaluation. I dedicated my time and effort to ensure that all the necessary adjustments were made, addressing any feedback or suggestions provided by my mentors. It was an opportunity to refine my work and bring it closer to completion.

Fortunately, I didn't encounter any major roadblocks or obstacles that halted my progress. However, like any coding journey, there were a few minor problems and errors that needed attention along the way.

Whats Next

As we move beyond the mid-term evaluation, my focus will shift towards completing any outstanding issues or suggestions flagged by my mentors. Their valuable feedback is essential in shaping the project and ensuring its success. Looking ahead, the second phase of my proposal awaits. I'm excited to delve deeper into my project, exploring new features, implementing enhancements, and making further progress towards achieving the proposed goals. With renewed energy and a clearer vision, I am ready to tackle the challenges and embark on this next phase with enthusiasm.

What I Accomplished This Week

I'm thrilled to share my latest progress! This week, I worked on drafting a new pull request (PR #290) in the PyZombis repository. This PR introduces a PyScript REPL component with amazing features like syntax highlighting, auto indentation, and keyword suggestions. It's an exciting addition to the project, enhancing the user experience and making code experimentation more interactive.

Additionally, I opened two new issue tickets (#289 and #288). These tickets highlight areas that require attention and improvement, ensuring the continuous growth and refinement of the project.

Furthermore, I received approvals for three out of my four pending pull requests.

Did I get stuck somewhere

One particular issue I faced involved a page where I needed to insert plain HTML, but the browser was rendering it instead. It took some time and collaboration with my mentors to find a workaround. Since we are utilizing reStructuredText (rst) to create the site, conventional website techniques don't always apply. With the guidance of my mentors, I overcame this hurdle and achieved the desired outcome

Whats Next

As the mid-term evaluation approaches, my focus for the upcoming weeks will be to complete the pending tasks and goals. It's a crucial time to wrap up any ongoing work, address feedback, and ensure that my contributions align with the project's objectives.

One area I'm particularly excited to explore is improving the REPL functionality. I aim to enhance it by allowing the component to take code as a prop and render it while loading. This extension would add a valuable feature to the project and further elevate the user experience.

With the mid-term evaluation in sight, I'll continue to push myself, collaborate with my mentors, and contribute my best to make this GSoC journey a remarkable success.

What did i do this week

My primary focus this week was to extend the end-to-end (e2e) test coverage of the existing project. I'm delighted to share that I successfully completed this task and made a significant contribution with PR #287 in the PyZombis repository. It's a fantastic feeling to see the test coverage expand, ensuring the project's stability and reliability.

Additionally, while working on this endeavor, I came across a few errors in the existing codebase. Taking it as an opportunity to improve the project, I dived in, diagnosed the issues, and solved them. It's all about continuous improvement, one bug fix at a time!

Did I get stuck somewhere

Like any coding adventure, I encountered a few challenges along the way. Some of the tests I needed to write weren't straightforward. They required simulating user behavior using Playwright codegen and handling web page dialogues. Initially, it felt a bit overwhelming, but I made a conscious decision to take my time and approach these challenges with a cool and focused mind. I temporarily set them aside and tackled them later. And you know what? It worked like magic! I was able to complete those tests successfully, learning valuable techniques and enhancing my problem-solving skills in the process.

Whats Next

Looking ahead, my next focus is on resolving some of the issues highlighted by my mentor in one of the PRs. It's essential to address these concerns and ensure that the code meets the project's standards and requirements. I'll be dedicating my efforts to refining and polishing these contributions. Once these changes are incorporated and all my four open PRs are merged, I'll be celebrating the completion of yet another milestone in this incredible journey.
