PyCon US 2025 Tutorial Sneak Peek: "Codyssey: A playful control system workshop" - Daniel Anderson
Codyssey is a 3-hour workshop where you’ll learn about the control system programming model and implement simple systems in Python to autonomously play various games. You’ll observe the behavior of your system in a visual environment, and compete with other participants to solve as many games as you can. Along the way, you’ll have to think creatively and practice translating your intuition into code. During the workshop, I’ll mentor individual participants/pairs; after the competitive part, I’ll live-code solutions for chosen challenges while demonstrating how to apply the control system programming model. Each challenge will have you implementing a function that runs dozens of times a second, deciding which action to take. Come hone your Python skills, adapt to a new way of thinking, and tackle some epic challenges! Joining us at PyCon US 2025?
