PLUX Social Drinking & Networking - Thursday
Socializing and Networking đđ at PLUX on Thursday. Making new friends and drinking đ°đđđżđ. Everybody Welocme, locals, expats or new đ in town.
Group Walk: Hallerbos!
This is a very special group walk! If you haven't visited the forest outside of the town Halle in the spring, then we highly recommend joining or going on your own time. During the spring, the Hallerbos is blooming with beautiful hyacinths covering the forest floor. You can get a sneak peak [here](https://www.hallerbos.be/).
Over the years this has turned into quite the tourist attraction, which is why we decided to plan the walk during the week.
Another special aspect of this group walk is that we will have a "guide" that not only grew up in this area, but is also in charge of expat services at the tourism department of Flemish Brabant. Nona will give some extra insight into the area and guide us through the first.
**Meeting point**: Leuven train station
\- We will take the train from Leuven to Halle\. Departure \(normally from platform B\) at 11:41 arrival 12:52\. We will meet outside of the Madmum on the station square at \(no later than\!\) 11:30 and walk to the platform together\.
\- From the train station in Halle we will take a bus to the forest\.
Please note that this walk is subject to the blooming of the flowers and the weather. If the flowers haven't bloomed yet, then we will cancel the walk. We did the best at estimating the time the flowers will bloom, since every year it is different.
You are responsible to get your own train and bus ticket, and we will handle the guiding part :)
Make sure to wear good walking shoes and bring water and maybe a snack!
We will walk maximum 8km, on walking paths through the forest.
After-work Drinks
Looking for a casual after-work activity to meet other internationals (and locals) in Leuven? Our volunteer Reinier will be there to welcome you for an evening of great conversation and delicious Belgian beer (or another drink of your choosing).
Let us know you are joining via Meetup. This way we can easily contact you, via the Meetup chat, in case there are any changes.
The location will be indicated in the event details once decided! :)
Python Game Workshop #2 â Organizing Your Game with Functions
[French version below]
In our first workshop, we built Mouse vs Cheese â a keyboard-controlled terminal game where a mouse navigates a grid to reach the cheese đ§. If you missed it, no worries! We'll get you up to speed in the first 10 minutes.
Right now, the game works, but the code is written as one long sequence of instructions. Everything happens in the same place, which makes it harder to read, reuse, and improve.
In this session, we'll refactor the game by organizing the code into functions. This will make the program clearer, more modular, and easier to extend.
By the end of the workshop:
* The game will allow you to play again without restarting the script
* The code will be split into small, reusable functions
* You'll see how organizing code properly makes programs easier to maintain and grow
đ This is Session 2 of an ongoing Python Game Workshop series, but it stands completely on its own. You are welcome even if you didn't attend the first session.
đ§° What to Bring
\- Your laptop with Python 3\.x installed
\- A code editor \(VS Code recommended\)
\- Enthusiasm and curiosity\!

đ Atelier Python #2 â Organiser votre jeu avec des fonctions
Dans notre premier atelier, nous avons construit Mouse vs Cheese â un jeu en terminal contrĂŽlĂ© au clavier oĂč une souris navigue sur une grille pour atteindre le fromage đ§. Si vous avez manquĂ© cette session, pas d'inquiĂ©tude ! Nous vous mettrons Ă niveau dans les 10 premiĂšres minutes.
En ce moment, le jeu fonctionne, mais le code est Ă©crit comme une longue sĂ©quence d'instructions. Tout se passe au mĂȘme endroit, ce qui le rend plus difficile Ă lire, Ă rĂ©utiliser et Ă amĂ©liorer.
Dans cette session, nous allons réorganiser le jeu en structurant le code en fonctions. Cela rendra le programme plus clair, plus modulaire et plus facile à faire évoluer.
Ă la fin de l'atelier :
* Le jeu vous permettra de rejouer sans redémarrer le script
* Le code sera découpé en petites fonctions réutilisables
* Vous verrez comment bien organiser son code rend les programmes plus faciles Ă maintenir et Ă faire grandir
đ Cette session fait partie d'une sĂ©rie en cours, mais elle se suffit Ă elle-mĂȘme. Vous ĂȘtes les bienvenu·es mĂȘme si vous n'avez pas assistĂ© Ă la premiĂšre session.
đ§° Ă apporter
\- Votre ordinateur portable avec Python 3\.x installé
\- Un éditeur de code \(VS Code recommandé\)
\- Enthousiasme et curiosité \!

Badminton Sunday Advanced
First time comers
Please make sure to read the rules and contact the organizer before! Otherwise you will be moved to waiting list. Apologies for inconvenience but we have to do it to avoid no-shows.
New and Interested in being part of our group? Join here, https://chat.whatsapp.com/KqdVhyuBhFz1d56lv4WVVi
Please Direct Message the Organizer with your level. Approval is required before your first RSVP.
Games format.
95% are double games (unless someone needs a break), typically 4 people play together 2 sets and then mix with players from other fields. We play with plastic shuttles - Yonex Mavis 2000 (which are provided).
Registration
If it's your first time, please send a private message to the host to confirm. No-shows are taken quite seriously because they unbalance the games a lot. Also once you register please keep an eye on you private messages, in case we need to contact you.
Players level
Having players with much less experience often unbalances the game making it much less interesting for more experienced players. We still try to be welcoming.
As a rule of thumb, if you know what a "clear" is, you are welcome to join.
Otherwise, feel free to get in touch with me (John) and we can see if we can arrange so you and existing players can have good experience playing.
Price and payments
The price of participation is EUR 9. Payment is on-site in cash, or via online. Info provided during or shortly after the event in the WhatsApp group.
Cancelations and no-shows
Switches and cancellations are free of charge if done more than 50 hours before the start of the matches
If you cancel within the 50-hour window before the event starts, you will be placed on the wait-list for the next week's event, whether or not a replacement is found. If no replacement is secured, you'll still need to cover your share of the costs.

Questions or first-time approval requests? DM the Organizer with your playing level and availability.
Sunday Electronics Workshop
This workshop series is a **follow-up to the ESP32 Robotics workshop**, but with a different concept. Here, there will be no subject set in advance, instead **all participants are welcome to join at any point and at any level, from beginner to expert**. Beginners will be guided though the basics (C programming, how to use measurement tools, soldering, PCB design, etcâŠ) and can get advice on what tools and kits to start with, others can come with their own projects to get help or share some knowledge.
## Requirements
* Bring your own laptop (Windows, Linux or Mac)
* Any microcontroller/dev kit to develop your project(s). If you are a beginner and donât know what to buy, come and weâll find the best starter kit for you !
* A strong desire to learn stuff, good mood and some patience !
Write Together!
Spend time in the company of other writers putting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard. Work on your current project or start something new. If you are fresh out of inspiration a member of the Wordcraft Collective will be ready with a prompt to get you going. You can use that to unlock your creative brain before moving back to your own project or run with it. Who knows where the story will take you?
Arrive when you like, leave when you like, or join us for a drink in the bar downstairs afterwards.
Location: Pianofabriek, Rue du Fort 35, 1060 Saint-Gilles.
Dreams
PLEASE NOTE: this session will exceptionally begin at 14h and end at 17h
What comes to mind when we hear the word "dream"? 1) Experiences we undergo while sleeping? 2) Hopes, desires and goals we cherish for the future? 3) Daydreaming? 4) Imagining, thought-experimenting, inventing? 5) ...?
How are all these various forms of dreaming connected to our waking, here-and-now lives?
What life experiences have you had that noticeably influenced your dreams?
What dreams have you had that especially affected, possibly changing or even transforming, your life?
How can we maximize the value of our dreams?
How can we maximize the value our waking/here-and-now experiences have on our dreams?
What can dreams teach us about consciousness? [Jef, might you want to add Jung and Freud to the BINGO cards? đđ
]
How do dreaming and non-dreaming affect self-identity, and vice-versa?
Should we categorically aim to avoid all nightmares (or not)?
Does free will exist in dreams?
Do all dreams carry messages?
(What) can we learn (something) from the "logic" of dreams?
Can dreams predict the future?
(How) can we know whether we are dreaming or not dreaming?
If our waking consciousness would turn out to be all a dream after all, how might "waking consciousness lucid dreaming" manifest itself to us?
"Life, as I experience it, is an ongoing quest to search for, collect and process "dream material": scenes, sounds and events during waking life that will inevitably return later (sometimes much later) during dream sleep, (dis)guised in all various forms and permutations ... only to resurface, rematerialize and recur in new configurations and in new contexts during future waking life. Like the ongoing cycle of breathing, a continual exchange of "dream material" is constantly occurring, oscillating back and forth between waking and sleeping, between consciousness and the unconscious, between past and future."
â Alnata Karuna
This session will be an opportunity to talk about and to share our dreams - in whatever forms or contents - and to explore together their possible roles and significance in our lives.
