I figure there may not be any off-the-shelf scripts that I can use. I tried vibe coding, but the part about getting the image recognition to work seemed non-trivial. Have you tried something like this before?

I want a gradescope-like UI for identifying the answer regions and for the app to compute scores of individual students + stats. The reason I can't use GS for my situation is that GS doesn't support confidence-based grading, which is what I am using for this exam.

Having done this a couple of times (imperfectly), happy to help any way I can! Happily, the documentation covers a lot of ground already:

I am likely to be very off in my estimates of how long the chapters will take, but we'll figure it out as we go along :) Logistics: the readings will be coordinated via Circle (as an experiment) instead of WA groups. Please make sure to sign up at the links on the GAB site.

Now I can give you a more complete reply, @neeldhara.bsky.social. The chess book I was thinking of is Chess: The Complete Self-Tutor by Edward Lasker. Here is a sample of the interactive style.

The closest thing for me as a young person learning about computer science was ‘The Turing Omnibus’ with its bite-sized chapters and categories. My memory is chapters would tell you what was next so you could follow the automata or cryptography ‘paths’.
I only have the ‘new’ version.

Aye no fair this was a one-one mapping from @sriku.org’s list…

On the follow up list I agree, but given that I don’t know what *I* am up to most of the time, this behaviour is on brand :D
