Stop 1 · What is an agent?

Six short scenes. If you have written print("hello world") once, you have enough background to follow them.

Scene 1/6

You already have everything you need to start

If you have written print("hello world") once, you already know what a program is: a list of instructions for the computer, followed one line at a time. That is all. Every new idea used here — , , — is explained at the moment you need it, and any word with a dotted underline can be clicked for a plain explanation. Beyond that one line of print, you do not need to be able to write code — though a dozen or so ordinary programming words are used without a definition, and the README on the course's GitHub page lists them.

hello.py
print("hello world")
hello world
A program = a list of instructions; the computer follows them one line at a time.
