This week has been pretty crazy between lmaken being here for some hacking, a shorten week due to the 4th of July, and lots of traveling.
I have made some paper mock-ups for Gourciferous and will begin creating some prototypes in Glade (fingers crossed nothing crashes). I may try to attach photos of the mock-ups soon, but I don't currently have a way to do that. The only real struggle with the GUI mock-ups is where to sort things. Gource has a lot of functionality and it overlaps. Deciding where options should go can be a real struggle. I took two main approaches, one mock-up has a few tabs with lots of options, the second one has a lot of tabs with only a few options. I am not sure which approach we will be taking right now.
Amazing Turtle has also been enjoying some growth. While it will take a lot of work (and a lot of help) Amazing Turtle will hopefully become a source for teachers and students to learn to program using Turtle. A deadline goal for beta completion is August 19th. On the 19th I will have the opportunity to pitch our work to the Technology Education Teachers at Washington County Public Schools in Maryland. I went through the school system there myself, and it would mean a lot to me to have my work help current students there. I am really hopeful that it will tested in some of the schools.
EDIT: Attached are the paper mock-ups for the GUI. There are two different options right now.
