We use game programming as a source for interesting algorithms and applications. No experience necessary. Participant need driven, and the first person with a question has priority. Anyone at any age is welcome, unless we run out of space. Regular attendance not required, no cost.
The out-of-date Programmers Anonymous web page has some examples of things we've worked on. Recently we've been using Processing, learning about Python, and dinking with the Raspberry Pi. We've also tinkered with other programming languages (Java, C++, Matlab) and hardware (e.g. Kinect, Arduino). Veggieman is showing us how to use PHP to develop a social network and content curation web service.
