Yup! I always try and do something different. I got a long way in Scratch one year. Today I used Flock XR, my blockly based 3D creative coding tool. Sheets is actually a pretty sensible choice for day 1.

I know I'm not going to have much time for Advent of Code this year. But I couldn't resist visualising Day 1 Part 1 in Flock XR. #flockxr #coding #adventofcode #dataviz

I've been experimenting with key frame animation in Flock! This could be fun. Needs some UX improvements but I'll get there. #coding #education #animation #flockxr

The room conveys innovation, inclusion, and creativity, with a sense of teamwork and learning." Really lovely, except for the same bias that others have been pointing out.

I followed a trend and asked ChatGPT to generate an image that represents my current life based on the chats we've had. Here's what it came up with. I also asked it what prompt it used.

A male teacher in a technology classroom with lots of references to creative 3D.

I've been experimenting with AI-generated furniture for Flock XR (our 3D block-based creative coding tool). The table in the clip was generated by Meta AI based on an example (created in Flock and exported as JSON) and a prompt. Fine tuning an LLM has a lot of potential!
