Reimplementation of code.org's Theatre for use in local IDEs

Primary LanguageJava

The Theater

This project takes the Code.org Theatre and breaks it free of the Java Lab so that you can use it in the local IDE as you prefer.

What can I do with The Theater?

In Unit 4 of the Code.org AP CSA curriculum, students are introduced to The Theater and explore its components and functionality. Students use the classes and methods provided by the Theater to play sounds, create drawings, and show images.

This version of the Theater takes that ability and brings it to your local computer so that you can more easily integrate version control, asset files, and the use of a professional or educational IDE as you choose.

How can I use it?

The theatre-_VERSION_NUMER_.jar file in the Packages page for this project can be added as a library in a project in your IDE to give you the full functionality provided by the Code.org Theater in Java Lab, but running as a local program on your computer. Projects that you create can be packaged up as .jar files themselves and become executable by themselves on any computer with a JRE installed.

You can also clone one of the following repositories and checkout the code in your IDE to start right off:

Where can I get documentation for the Theater?

Code.org provides some wonderful documentation for use with Java Lab, the same should cover this version.
