Years ago I created this repo to store a range of code I used for teaching young people how to code.
It evolved into a dynamic website that showed the incremental code for small games in a range of languages. Next to the code was runnable browser based html5 version of what the code would look like.
Over the years I added more coding examples. Many of these new examples were not visual or interactive like the game ideas.
One resource stood out. A language cheat sheet for multiple languages. This was a binary file (openoffice document) that was periodicity updated. Many of the code examples did not actually work. They had never been through a compiler/interpreter and caused much frustration for learners.
Eventually these code snippets made their way into runnable code files. The concept to build the cheat sheet from these was never completed.
This repo is a mess. The pyramid webserver project needs to be disposed of. The new plan is to make a data API that can serve all of the versions of the programs (as complete programs or diffs) so that they can be rendered (hopefully trivially) by a frontend. The same technology that can show incremental bits of games in multiple languages could also be used for the generating the cheat sheet.
Step 1: create data api Step 2: consider how to display the data (online or printable)
I'm not going to start a whole new repository because I think the journey is reasonably interesting. I will move this repo out into an organization so that other can collaborate on it. I will move it once it's been tidied up a bit.

A dynamic website structure to showcase exiting simple programming projects in a variety of different languages.
THIS REPO IS MESS AND NEEDS SOME SERIOUS REWORKING! There is peril here. It is not a finished masterpiece.
