I'll be teaching a group of nine and ten years olds to code. I'm planning on using Jupyter. What I'd really like to do is make a multiplayer naval game, with each player controlling their ship from their own notebook. Players would start out by running commands like fire(range=400, bearing=120) right from a cell, but would later be able automate their ship - for example, pick the nearest enemy, get the range, and plu…

What you describe sounds quite similar to the old Robocode project for Java programming, it may be worth taking a look at it for ideas/implementation: http://robowiki.net/wiki/Robocode

Please try again. We had some drastic speedups with notebooks, particularly on Firefox, in the last few weeks.

i installed it now (v0.31.8) via pip on centos7 with python 3.6. Switching to a notebook tab takes about two seconds (notebook has 45 python code cells), saving a texteditor with python code in it takes about 1 second. Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 on macosx (15" macbook pro). "regular" jupyter notebook is instant on both things.

There are definitely more optimizations planned in the future. The optimizations that happened in the last few weeks took it down from tens of seconds to open and deal with large notebooks.

As someone who used Matlab and Mathematica in college, I'm not sure I'd want to have a closed source solution really take off again at this point. While they provided great products and documentation, they also made it much more difficult to share code/visualizations due to restrictive and expensive licensing. Ultimately, I think the ability to share information easily should help spur scientific advancement.

A number of years ago I knew a postdoc who bought a student copy of Mathematica at the university bookstore so he could use it as part of a short-term collaboration without dropping a non-trivial chunk of his grants on a full license. Shortly after he installed it, the department chair got a personal email from Stephen Wolfram asking what someone who wasn't a graduate student was doing with a student license. This su…

That’s pretty horrifying.

Hi Teacher - please teach them without war/combat games, there are so many fun things to do that don't involve guns, battles, fire, enemies :)

Just tried it and found it tremendously easy to use. Well done

One thing I couldn't seem to figure out is if it is possible to plot interactive matplotlib plots (for getting mouseover values zooming etc).

Is JuypterLab available on a cloud service? I use azure notebook a lot, it's great.

It's already available on Azure Notebooks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16422217

>> If you like to try it, pick any of your libraries, right click and select “open in JupyterLab”.

Absolutely love JupyterLab. Having used ipython for years, I switched to Jupyter Lab about 6 months ago and never looked back. The things I'm most impressed with (relative to Jupyter Notebooks, which were already amazing): - The ability to render .geojson, .json, markdown, Vega and Vega lite files, and integrate external tools like Voyager. - The new terminal is a joy to use compared to what came before it - The abil…

Also the modular packages they have built are amazing. They have a node package called @jupyterlab/services which lets you write typescript code for your own libraries that can then call the Jupyter Server. An example of using JupyterLab services is provided on their GitHub: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/tree/master/package... Because of the way they built their packages I have been able to stand on the sh…

Holy shit. ScriptedForms is amazing. Is there any possibility you would consider selling a dual-licensed version that is not AGPL3?
