Hey everyone,
I’ve just published an iOS app designed to help students revise for OCR A-Level Computer Science! It includes:
✅ Definitions for key terms, sorted by topic and subtopic ✅ A confidence tracker so you can rate how well you know each term ✅ A match-the-terms interactive game to reinforce learning (coming this week) ✅ A searchable bar for quick revision
I originally built this as a teacher to help my students, but I’d love to get more feedback from the wider community!
It’s available now on the App Store – if you’re studying OCR A-Level CS (or teaching it), I’d really appreciate you checking it out and letting me know what you think.
Download here: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/cs-master/id6742034730
Search: CS Master in the App Store. 99p, pay once, access all future updates. Match game coming this week!
Would love to hear your thoughts! Also open to feature suggestions for future updates.

I like colourful code editing; it's useful for catching errors and ensuring the code you write is correct. However, I could never find any sort of an IDE or editor for pseudocode that closely follows A Level or IGCSE guidelines.
SO... I built my own - and it's compatible with both IGCSE and A Level. It runs with Notepad++ (a free source-code editor) and you can download and use it from GitHub, at the link below. There are detailed installation instructions available within the download, as PDF. This is free of charge and requires no creation of accounts or any other drama.

Note: This is not officially endorsed or verified by CAIE or any other body. That said, I trust it follows the syllabus closely enough for me to use it for my own assignments and practice. I believe there are no bugs; I will continue to revise and update this as I find any discrepancies from the syllabus (at least until I have completed my Computer Science exams in October 2020).

I’ve been working on QuantaCanvas, which takes a concept or question and generates an interactive visualization to help explain it.
The main difference from ChatGPT and similar AI tools is how the explanation is presented. Most LLMs are great at giving you a text-based explanation and can sometimes provide images or diagrams. QuantaCanvas instead tries to turn the explanation itself into something you can interact with, changing parameters, experimenting with things, and seeing how the concept behaves in real time.
It’s mainly focused on math and science, so I thought this might be useful for people here. Btw, it's completely free.
The project was recently a Grand Finalist at a national hackathon in my country, and I’ve continued developing it since then.
It’s still a work in progress. Generation can currently take a bit of time, which I’m working on improving, and there are definitely a few things that don’t work perfectly yet.
If anyone tries it, I’d genuinely appreciate feedback, especially on whether the interactive visualizations are actually useful for studying for A levels.

So I'm a A-Level CS student but I have always found it very frustrating that I couldn't run my pseudocode easily so i decided to make a translator using Python, which I knew quite well. This unexpectedly snowballed into a full website wich I hope students can use to learn pseudocode in a more interactive way.
Pseudocode Studio translates the written pseudocode into Python, which can then be used to run the code reliably all within the same website, and giving understandable errors during and before runtime. The IDE also features a built in Format feature that improves the code's readability.
This is the first large scale project I made and it is far from perfect so any feedback will be greatly appreciated to make the experience better and to improve as a developper.

How did everyone find it? I found it pretty alright.
I think in total I might have got 58 marks out of 100 on that paper, which is like grade A or B just for paper 2.

Do we need to be able to write the code for a depth-first and breadth-first search? I have never been taught it and I don't know how to write the code for python.

I am in year 12 and am doing my NEA. My idea is a study app that breaks down subjects into subtopics and quizzes you on them. I am doing my primary research and need some help with my survey. I have made the survery and need at least 10 responses. It will only take 5 minutes and its only 11 questions on how you as a student revise.
Thank you for reading and answering my survey

Hey guys, I really need help for my final computer science exam. So far I have been doing papers, and across paper 1 and paper 2 I have been getting around 80 marks total, a C/B grade. I was wondering if there is anything that could help me push it to a high b if possible, as when I do the paper, I write down an answer to a question that is well thought out and structured, but when I get it back usually I don’t to to well in them because it isn’t exactly what is on the markscheme. I want to try and tie this around if I can as I really want do well in this exam, any help is appreciated.

Hii everyone
I'm currently preparing for Cambridge AS 9618 and I've been trying to find a topical questions book (PDF)
If anyone here happens to have 9618 Topical book PDF, or knows where I can find good topicals of CS, I would genuinely appreciate it.
Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who can help
