Two Tier Goals

1. Grad student edit
2. K12 student edit

• Review specific scripts that are candidates for editing.
• Make sure support for student edit is in place

Keywords

Based a relatively quick appraisal of Aquatic Energy and Bee Dissertation, this should cover most the necessary keywords.

Pragma

• [ ] Show list of available pragmas
  • [ ] BLUEPRINT
  • [ ] TAG
  • [ ] PROGRAM
• [ ] Show input field for value (e.g. bpName, PROGRAM type, etc.)

useFeature

• [ ] List Feature choices

addProp

• [ ] input field for defining a name
• [ ] field type selector
• [ ] input field for defining initial value

prop

featProp

featCall

onEvent

every

when

ifExpr

Secondary but necessary?

exprPush

propPush / propPop

featPropPush / featPropPop

// Comment fields

• [ ] input field for entering a long comment

Quirks

A list of issues that came up while trying to put together the keywordTest.gemprj project:

• “” should be removed before placing in gemprj file
• Physics.xxx references for featProp and featCall need to be spaced not dotted
• Need to add Costume or we’ll get skin error
• every does not run in a # PROGRAM EVENT pragma — it needs to run in # PROGRAM UPDATE
• onEvent cannot be empty or you get a iterableToArray.js:2 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: undefined is not iterable (cannot read property Symbol (Symbol.iterator)) error
• ifExpr agent prop references need to use agent.getProp('xxx').value
• the ifExpr actually needs to use an else structure, because by the time we reach the second if, myString is already set to goodbye by the previous if.
• featPropPush object reference needs to separate Physics from radius
• Need to useFeature Touches if we want to use when…touches
• featCall parameters in the when should be <targetAgent>.Physics <method>

FYI: I've made a mirror spreadsheet at the docs4teams google drive folder to try to make a more scannable/annotatable version.
