Hi everyone! this is the my final weekly check-in in my GSoC internship, if you want to know more about my whole internship, please check out the previous.

The last week was the final of the coding phase, it was a great experience, I learned a lot.

What did you do this week?

Being the last week, I only made reviews of the PR of my colleagues, and additionally, I was finishing the Model View Controler lesson, however, I am still finishing it since during the meeting with my mentors they gave me some suggestions. I hope to finish it in the next week but as a contribution of my own and not part of the code phase.

What is coming up next?

For this week I am going to be working on the report of my activities, this is a requirement to fulfill my last evaluation. I am doing this report on the PyZombis project wiki, hoping that anyone can see my journey, as well as all the activities during this internship.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

Last week I was stuck and I am still stuck in the writing of the lesson since the original course was very basic in this lesson, and since writing is not one of my strengths it has been difficult for me. However, I am progressing in that.

Hi everyone! This is my 5th blog post, and it is the last before the coding phase ends. I can't believe that almost 2 months have passed, the whole experience has been awesome, however, I am going deeper into it in the next post.

Last week I was working on modifying the graphical user interface. This change was necessary to improve the lesson's context, with this information the future students of the course can know more about the interfaces and the basic differences between them. In addition, I changed the initial position of dialogs to the left upper corner, this change helps to a better experience when creating the dialogs. I made a PR with this change and it is awaiting the mentors' review. Below there is a result of this change.

Code

from browser import document, html
from browser.widgets.dialog import Dialog

# Creación de un dialogo con el título
d = Dialog("Show de preguntas Zombis", top=20, left=20)

# Agrega elementos como botones y títulos
d.panel <= html.H3(
    "Aprieta los botones",
    id="titulo_ventana",
    style=dict(textAlign="center")
)
d.panel <= html.BUTTON("Correcto", id="btn_correcto")

d.panel <= html.BUTTON("Incorrecto",
    id="btn_incorrecto",
    style=dict(marginLeft="5em")
)

Result

I made a few Proof of Concepts with different approaches until I found the best solution for my problem, however, one of the approaches that I used was inherited from the Brython class dialog and overwrote the methods that I needed. This approach was the optimal solution but I had a problem, the Brython interpreter did not allow me to do it and I had several issues with this, then I changed it to a simple solution, which can not be optimal, but remember...

Hi everyone! this is the 5th weekly check-in in my GSoC internship journey, if you want to know more about it, please check out the previous.

What did you do this week?

In the 8th week of my internship was working in update the templates files of the project, these files are using when the project is building with Runestone, these changed were proposed before the weekly meeting with my mentors since we had problems when one of my team split the lessons and the core's team of Runestone told her that would be a problem in the templates, so the solution was updated them.

What is coming up next?

The change on the templates files wasn't in my weekly plan, but I know that we would be having issues in the road as with any project...

For that reason, in the next week I was going to work (I already did it, check-out the next post 😜) in modify the graphic user interface lesson to add more context information according to the mentor's review.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

Yes indeed, I had issues when I was updating the files, and I could solve it, replacing all content in the _template folder of the Runestone project with the new ones.

So, Houston we did it!

Hello everyone! this is the 4th post of my blog post series to the GSOC internship, you can check out all previous if you want to know more about it :D

At this opportunity, I was working on refactoring the graphical user interface lesson, this lesson in the original course was created using the library to create GUIs tkinter but now I refactored using Brython.

In order to make this change, I used Brython's widgets to create dialogs. This was the way that I found to simulate the behavior of the tkinter library. The result is quite similar, below is a screenshot of the result.

These kinds of dialogs are created using the syntax of Brython and translated to HTML internally using javascript (without use javascript itself), and also you can put any element HTML inside using the same syntaxis, like buttons, input fields (any type), and so on.

I have done a PR that is waiting for my mentors' review, and in the meantime, I am going to work to make reviews of peers' PR and after that, I am going to work in the Model View Controller lesson, which is very important in the second milestone of my internship, so keep going.
