CMU Academy https://academy.cs.cmu.edu/splash Does a great job implementing this idea and making it available at no cost.

Thanks for the pointer to CMU CS Academy. it’s an excellent resource with shared approach on learning through visuals. it seems to be more oriented to teachers but indeed is a great resource.

My only feedback is $49 for AI slop feels like extortion at best, and delusion at worst. Don't give up building stuff, we should all be using AI to build ideas because the cost of developing them has dropped substantially. We should not be using them, however, to grift one another.

your criticism well received. Yes, AI was heavily involved, but the raw python content and core viz ideas grew out of my earlier informal teaching and coaching. The advanced labs add some complexity analysis and animation. And to be honest, the $49 price is just an experiment.

I dislike AI slop too, but we shouldn't be taking pricing feedback from anyone that isn't a potential customer, unless they are saying, "I wouldn't buy this at 49$, but I would buy it at 19$", it goes straight into /dev /null.

Also fwiw, 49$ one time is on the very low end for about any product except mass produced (not common on early startups). It would only miss the mark for $/mo in B2C

If I can't get a customer to shell out 50$, I'd rather mark the idea as lacking pmf than trying it out at lower price points.

It has a nice interface and I really like it. I'll stay in tuned for the C++ version as well.

It needs a bit of work, but it looks like most slop sites I have seen unfortunately.

points taken, I would appreciate if you have some specifics so that I can improve on both the content and the formatting.

You may want to review it a bit more before soliciting feedback. For example, the very first task it asks the user to do is already done.

oh thanks for the quick feedback. my bad that it was left over from the earlier starting code as a demo for the first module. I have now fixed it and the starter code is now partial, and will fail the checks unless the user completes the tasks.
