Rename the library to Basics.h? #3

Hi, I really like that only a single include is needed:

#include <EduIntro.h>

Everything else being so neat and simple, how about:

#include <Basics.h>

Just like the File > Example > Basics > ...

Or something else a little friendlier to beginners.

(I understand you named it for a specific workshop.)

Kind regards, Thomas

Thanks for the suggestion, to be honest I hadn't thought about it that way .... but sounds like a good idea.

However, this is a different way of programming than the traditional coding style. It is implemented as an abstraction - as you know - allowing people to program as they talk about things ... I think we need to give it a thought and maybe consider the possibility of adding a "courseware" or similar to the examples list. Maybe even adding a pop-up window, as Processing does, so that it would be possible to have this as a second programming paradigm.

I will circulate this idea of yours with the team and see how people feel about it.
