The “Informatiktage 2026” and a Long-Overdue Addition to WebTigerPythonThis year's “Informatiktage” will take place from March 16 to March 21 and feature three ABZ workshops, all dedicated to programming education. As last year, Joël Lindegger will offer a creative way into coding with XLogoOnline–this time focussing on adults, who maybe want to get a glimpse of what their kids are doing in primary school (or so I hope). Clemens Bachmann will introduce a new WebTigerPython feature implemented by Joël and him, namely a browser-based implementation of GameGrid, with two workshops aimed and students and their teachers, respectively. The original GameGrid was written in Java and very popular among teachers as it allows a comprehensive introduction to object-oriented programming. Of course, simply porting such a Java library with all its asynchronicity to run in the browser is far from trivial, which is why it had to be rewritten from scratch and uses PyGame under the hood. 
WebTigerPython now supports a majority of the PyGame features, with more to come. Actually, if you have any particular feature requests, please let us know. Further Reading
