App for learning programming using a basic CoffeeScript drawing API

You can try the app here »

git clone git@github.com:KanoComputing/make-art.git
cd make-art
yarn

Build the app before running it

• yarn build
• yarn build:web --env=production

• yarn serve

Open your browser at http://localhost:4000

Run the watch script when developing

• yarn watch

To build in the offline mode for Kano OS add these ENV vars:

OFFLINE=true NODE_ENV=production gulp

Since Node JS isn't included by default on the kit and the offline backend is implemented in Python, the easiest way to debug on the kit is to build the static assets on your machine and rsync them over to the kit as follows:

rsync -av make-art "user@ip:~/make-art"

On Kano OS, go to the bin/ directory and launch the kano-draw script which will start the server and open a python-webkit browser with Make Art.

user@kano-os ~ $ cd ~/make-art/bin
user@kano-os ~ $ ./kano-draw

1. Install GPG key

sudo wget -qO - https://packagecloud.io/headmelted/codebuilds/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -;

2. Add source repository

deb https://packagecloud.io/headmelted/codebuilds/raspbian/ jessie main Ctrl-X, Y, enter to exit 'nano' and save the updated file.

Note it should be "jessie" even when using "stretch".

3. Install VS Code (code-oss)

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install code-oss

Note the "sudo apt-get update" is essential. Failing to do that will result in an "E: Unable to locate package code-oss" error.

Note that "sudo apt-get update" from now on will will show entries for "packagecloud.io/headmelted/codebuilds/raspbian", and "packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode".

4. Launching VS Code (code-oss)

Under the Pi desktop start menu, under Programming, there should now be a "Code - OSS" link.

VS Code can also be launched from the command line with -
