1.0.1r2

Windows only. Unzip the folder and double-click Foolcourse.bat. Put the books in courses.

This copy uses Foolbook at 1339017. Hidden groups and objects start hidden, a script can show a named button or field, and a Review link hides once that objective is 100. The 1.0.1 Linux and macOS folders are unchanged.

1.0.1r1

Windows only. Unzip the folder and double-click Foolcourse.bat. Put the books in courses.

This copy uses Foolbook 1.0.8r1 (053bf98): the quiz fixes and group show/hide. The 1.0.1 Linux and macOS folders are unchanged.

1.0.1

Foolcourse 1.0.1. Unzip the folder for your machine. Python is inside it. You do not install Python.

Put the books in the courses folder. A book can sit there or in a folder inside it. If a course opens another book, such as nida81, put that file in courses too. If courses already has books, Foolcourse does not ask where they are. START.txt in the folder says the same thing.

• Windows: Foolcourse-1.0.1-windows-x64.zip. Double-click Foolcourse.bat.
• Linux, 64-bit PC: Foolcourse-1.0.1-linux-x64.zip. In a terminal, ./Foolcourse.sh.
• Linux, 64-bit ARM: Foolcourse-1.0.1-linux-arm64.zip. Same ./Foolcourse.sh.
• Mac, Apple silicon: Foolcourse-1.0.1-macos-arm64.zip. Double-click Foolcourse.command. If macOS blocks it, right-click, choose Open, then Open again. This copy is not signed with Apple.
• Mac, Intel: Foolcourse-1.0.1-macos-x64.zip. Same as the other Mac.

There is no Android build and no iOS build. The window is Tk, and a phone does not run it.

Depends on Foolbook 1.0.8.

v1.0.0r6

Unzip Foolcourse-windows.zip on 64-bit Windows. Double-click Foolcourse.bat. Python is inside the folder.

The NIDA curriculum is already in the folder. The first time it starts, it asks where the courses are and remembers that folder.

Foolcourse-console.bat leaves a window open if something fails.

v1.0.0r5

Foolcourse now depends on Foolbook 1.0.5r32. The old pin was 1.0.2.

Reinstall inside the venv:

python3 -m pip install -e .

v1.0.0r4

The NIDA program list is a curriculum. _curriculum/nida.curriculum.json is the official list, 527 lessons. _curriculum/nida.programs.xml is the menu.

A lesson that appears in more than one program is one course. The overall counts it once.

A three-level menu keeps the unit, so DC Circuits / Introduction to Electricity is not folded into DC Circuits.

v1.0.0r3

Depends on Foolbook 1.0.2.
