A Turing machine puzzle for Pride! Make a puzzle with pygame and pygame-gui!
In honor of pride month, I thought we would create a computer science game/puzzle based on Alan Turing's theoretical "Turing machine" construct, because it has qualities that could be used to design an excellent educational computer science game.
Alan Turing, called "the father of theoretical computer science," a war hero and recipient of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his code-breaking war during WWII, was persecuted under cruel "gross indecency" laws in Great Britain for engaging in an intimate relationship with another man. This most likely led to Turing's death (possibly by suicide).
We should all fight for the rights and dignity of folks on the queer spectrum. Not because they might save tens of millions of lives, as Turing did, but because every human being deserves to live in peace and happiness, free from harassment because of who they are. We'll never know what else Turing would have given the world, had he lived. I hope, moving forward, we can stop having to ask ourselves that question about queer folk whose lives have been damaged and cut short by hate.
This channel is suitable for beginners or experienced programmers who want to learn Python or pygame, and also for instructors teaching programming. There are also Java, R, and some microcontroller videos. Let's have some fun learning to program with Python!
