Swift Playgrounds MeeBot subscription URL

Hi

In the Everyone Can Code Puzzles book, it references the 3rd-party MeeBot playgrounds. In the later updates to Swift Playgrounds, Apple have removed the catalogue of 3rd-party playgrounds. I was wondering if anybody knew the URL for the MeeBot ones? A teacher still had saved one of the playgrounds we needed, but not everything.

Thanks

Great question - I hadn't noticed this. Hopefully someone has a solution. Perhaps post in the techie forum?

Any joy with this? Have had no luck trying to guess the URL 😬

Looks like a lot of the old subscriptions are now broken and don’t work with Swift 5. I have found some different url’s but nothing that references Meebot or UBTech 😞

This seems to be the only thing I have found so far: https://thecodehub.ie/playgrounds/

Hi Tim, great question!

The Puzzles guides were updated with the new information in 2022, please check out page 12 for the MeeBot URL: ubtechrobotics.github.io/MeebotPlaygroundFeed/locales.json.

That’s what I needed!

I’ve just checked and I don’t think the UK version of the book has had this update as of yet.

But I shall make a note of the URL and pass it onto teachers.
