Hi, I am a programmer myself but I have never programmed in Phyton before. This video was a great introduction of the visual capabilities. I can now program small animations for my nephew when he asks for my help in motion physics.

Thank you.

great stuff man

really clear and useful

sir,

Thank you very much

I loved it, but you are missing somthing very important: the Mass.

:)

Thanks! This gave me a great overview of VPython. It was very clear and concise.

Very clear and very interesting

Hi, I recently discovered python lenguage and it seems me so great, so I want to thank u for this tutorial. It will help to me.

nice. really interesting.

I've discovered something I did know nothing about.

gives me the idea to learn more about this.

thanks!

Hi Erik -

I'm a long time high school physics teacher, working this year on an independent study with a couple very bright kids. This tutorial was PERFECT for me...I hope it will be useful to them. Look forward to my homework "assignment".

Many thanks for your time and effort putting this online.

Wow that was really cool!! Coming from an animation programming back ground, this looks really easy to use!

A nice and useful intro to VPython. Thanks!

nice video

nice video

Best tutorial ever. Extremely detailed and nice laid out.

Looking forward to more tutorials if you're making more of these!

Thx for the video really helped

Thanks for teaching, keep up the good work !

This was my introduction to VPYTHON and it was well done. I was able to enter and execute the code while the video was running.

I will be looking for additional python videos

Thank you so much, great tutorial!

Hi, i am desperate in learning 3D, and now after giving up on OpenGL DirectX and C++ and so on, i will try Python are these videos good? please tell me on kristianjanum@hotmail.com and if i need any special python programs for 3D.

After looking at the video I feel like learning Vpython. Thank you for the demo!

It was fine......A new approach towards educations nice....Thanks.....

Bye the way I am new to Python......Thnks

Way To Go Eric!! This set ot tutorials is awesome!! I am a complete noobie to programming and have decided on Python to be my Learning Language into the world of programming.

You really are doing a great service for many people like me!! I'm sure I don't have to tell you that I'm not alone in trying to figure out where to start to learn programming. This site and your Tutorials make the process a lot more approachable, visual, and therefore easier to grasp before moving on to harder concepts.

Thank You Thank You!

Thanks for the video

Thanks for the video

Hi Eric :)

...a feedback to make you happy :)

Actually I am searching for some code which calculates intersections of polygons and stumbled over your video.

Of course I also noticed, that you misspelled the variable 'finsihed' - and waited for your reaction :)

Thanks for your video and take care,

Dietrich

Great tutorial, looking forward to learning more this way. Thanks.

IT IS VERY INTRESTING

Great Website. I have been visiting off and on for several years.

Sincerely,

Tim

The best python projectile video ever. =)

You are the man!,,, Watch out for this guy right here.... =)

Thankz for the Vidz,,, Keep it up....

Great! Video! I have been trying to delve into some physics simulations on the computer for some time now, but didn't want to have to write all the gruntwork code. So this tutorial not only gave me a solution for rapid prototyping with vpython, but it also brushed up on my physics. Fantastic.

Thanks loads. I must admit a certain schadenfreude when you mispelled "finished."

Wow, I didn't know Vpython was so easy.

I am a begining to learn python and found your tutorial very clear and informative.

The most interesting videos - and the way of typing the code as long as the talk goes is nice. Very memorizible.

Nice tutorial series. Thanks for making it.

I also very much enjoyed what I've had time to view so far!

In "Projectile Motion 1" maybe you should check the units in your comment for "gravity", since it's an acceleration rather than a velocity?

OOps, I've just had a look on the documentation. Probably, VPython doesn't have these features.

Vid request:

It would be nice, to have an episode about configuring the renderer. I mean: more tesselated shapes, batch rendering some complex simulation.

PS: Great series.

I welcome the idea of combining physics and programming. As soon as I will have a bit free time I will watch this series.

That's great to hear Igor. I'm glad you and your students are finding it beneficial. I think it's a good modern way to learn physics too. I always think to myself that if I am able to program some physics situation in python then I probably understand that concept pretty well.

I'm using your video series with high school students, they review the physics concepts and construct new things having fun with python, thanks :). it's at http://www.gfc.edu.co .

Hi Erik. I just wanted to say Thanks for this video set - combining physics and Python coding (and bug hunting!) in such a neat series is no mean feat.

The debugging was cool - I felt quite involved as I tried to figure out the bug whilst you were doing the same...it felt like I was just looking over your shoulder. Great stuff!

Ian.

Nice tutorial. I screaming at the screen when you were looking for that typo bug.

"It's the S and the I Eric! The S and the I!"
