Integrate a block language

[davidbau]

Some notes from Anthony

Here's the fork:
https://github.com/dabbler0/pencilcode-site

If you run the devserver normally it will kind of work, and ice will be the default editor when you open a file. It is a hack and broke a lot of stuff.

The pencilcode fork right now just contains the compiled ice editor code (at site/top/lib/ice.js); the ice editor source repo is here:
https://github.com/dabbler0/ice_editor_canvas

Things that are broken and need to be fixed:

• The ace editor that ice melts to does not work with most pencilcode features (line-highlighting, font size changing, etc)
• Keyboard interaction with ace editor is bound to the document, and should not be
• Performance issues with moving the ice editor cursor around
• Choose palette blocks (currently empty)
  • Ice currently can't scroll the palette; if it gets too long this will need to be implemented
• General ICE editor incompleteness:
  • Parser is very incomplete (cannot deal with object literals, single-line ifs, switch statements, class definitions, and more)
  • No good interface for having multiple statements on the same line (semicolon-separated)
  • No good behaviour when programs are syntactically incorrect (parser fails and causes editor to fail)
  • Editor does not resize when its container div resizes

Other good hackathon things:

• Tweak graphics to look more like Scratch
• Enable lasso-select on touch devices
• Implement line highlighting in ice editor (should outline the block on given line), and integrate with turtle debugging

When I try to clone the repo following the normal PencilCode instructions, I get an error when I run "grunt". Any ideas?

Running "requirejs:compile" (requirejs) task

It’s due to the ninth line of src/editor-main.js lacking a comma at the end.

Yeah, I'm not sure how that got in there. Should be okay now.

I think we can close this now!
