Enclose.Horse for ClassPad

Quick setup

If you just want to quickly test something, go with "Open in a codespace".

Install to the calculator

Mount your classpad to your PC as USB storage device and copy the mhorse.py to the calculator.

Then, go into the HollyHock Launcher (under System, in the menu) and search for the PythonExtra addin.

Run in, and on the "Files" pane (using the = button) look for your python file. You can navigate using the arrow and enter a folder using EXE key.

Press EXE to run it, and you should have the bouncing logo or your program working !

What is gint?

gint is the main module that powers drawing, keyboard input, and graphics control in PythonExtra.

You use it for:

• Drawing shapes and pixels (gint.dpixel)

• Reacting to key presses (gint.pollevent())

• Controlling the screen update (gint.dupdate())

Here’s a very simple example that draws a blue rectangle on screen:

import gint

# Clear the screen with white color
gint.dclear(gint.C_WHITE)

# Draw a filled blue rectangle from (50, 50) to (150, 100)
gint.drect(50, 50, 150, 100, gint.C_BLUE)

# Send drawing to the screen
gint.dupdate()

# Wait for a key press to exit
gint.getkey()

Project Structure

This repo contains:

• mhorse.py: The enclose.horse game

• gint.py: Simulator (using pygame) to test you game locally

• .typings/ and .vscode/: are settings folder for PythonExtra to work on VS Code. Do not delete them.

• / and .vscode/: are settings folder for PythonExtra to work on VS Code. Do not delete them.

When deploying to your calculator, you only need to copy your code (mhorse.py, the file you created etc).

Do NOT copy gint.py to your calculator, nor the ".typing" nor "tools" nor "_data". All of that is only useful when debugging locally.

Debugging locally

If you have the gint.py file in the same place than your code (mhorse.py), you can try to run or even debug it with visual studio (or your favorite IDE)

You'd need pygame installed, you can do it with pip install -r requirements.txt

If using VS Code, you can simply place breakpoint on your code (mhorse.py for example) and press "F5", and choose "Python Debugger" then "Python File".
