III GruPy-SP meeting

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Today (January, 22) will happen the third GruPy-SP meeting, GruPy-SP means Grupo de Usuário Python de São Paulo, or São Paulo’s Python User Group.

We started our meetings in November, 07 and since then we are meeting every month.

So, if you live/are in São Paulo and likes python, or wants to learn a beautiful dynamic language and meets a lot of very nice people, you are invited :-)

It will be held at Livraria Cultura – Conjunto Nacional (R. Augusta X Av. Paulista) and is scheduled to start at 19h.

We will have some presentations (about Elixir and Coding Dojo) and a lot of Python talk :-)

Original SimCity source code released

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Good news,

thanks to the OLPC the source code for the original SimCity game was released.

You can read about it here and download the source code.

The game has a new name, Micropolis, which was the working title at EA Games when the first SimCity was born. This is because of legal problems and to protect the name SimCity.

And thanks to OLPC, again, there is some Python code in it! :-)
