Worksheet Information for Sponsor

[dfrister]

Andrea and Mike are intending to develop a worksheet for using the blocks for use in a demonstration, and have requested that we provide some information so that they can organize their plans to match the hardware.

@htylo The first and most important is the commands present in our code and how they relate (if not directly) to normal programming functions.

The second piece of information is the function order on the rotary wheel. I know it was discussed briefly when @Debrant printed the proof of concept wheel to see how many we could fit, but it will need to be finalized.

Draft of requested details in #88. @erebuslabs, please let us know if you need anything more on this.

Is it safe to assume that the ordering will be in the order listed in #88?

Also, what is the anticipated breakdown of how many from each category? We can then create worksheet supplements that match the expected ratio of Values : Assignment : Controls : Statements.

We haven't given the ratios any thought yet. The way I would go about it is by making some programs and counting what I used by category. Which is something like what you are proposing if I understand correctly, just without knowing what the answer is at the start.

Without doing any of the work, I assume it would be Values>Assignment>Controls>Statements.

[erebuslabs]

Sounds good (and understandable)!

[jmickiewicz]

The ratios of wheels needs to be finalized soon.

@erebuslabs have you created worksheets? and if so did that work help suggest an answer?

[erebuslabs]

Commit a405a27b4b covers the worksheet creation - for record keeping, the final breakdown of blocks was:

• 15 Value Blocks
• 15 Operator Blocks
• 15 Control Blocks
• 7 Output Blocks

Resulting in a V:Op:C:Out ratio of roughly 2:2:2:1
