scratch-o-sphere's Issues

Create GUI for Android application

Issue

Create a GUI for the Android application. The GUI should present a list of programs from website with the ability to download and run.

Note

The GUI does not need to worry about user accounts at this point. We will investigate adding users to the program based on future progress.

Allow for website to output list of projects and the code associated with project

Issue

The Android application will need some sort of endpoint to connect to on the website. Create an API of sorts to pull down a global list of projects and a way to download the code associated with it.

Notes

JSON is a very popular data transportation method for web projects. You could possibly send a list of JSON objects like so:

{
    [
        {
            "script_name": "Hello word!",
            "script_url" : "http://blabla.com?whateveryouwanttoencode.script"
        },
        {
            "script_name": "Script 2",
            "script_url" : "http://blabla.com?whateveryouwanttoencode2.script"
        },          
    ]
}

Parse code on Android device and send instructions to Sphero

Issue

The Android application will need to parse code on the Android device and send the instructions to Sphero.

Notes

Will need to define a common language to generate for the parser.

Generate a parseable language output from visual programme

Issue

Define a text language based on visual program that can be parsed by Android application and sent to Sphero.

Notes

Required to be completed before fully implementing #2 and #3. It can however be worked on in parallel with these issues.

Generate code from canvas

Issue

Generate code from the items placed on the canvas for sending to the Android application.

Notes

Will need to define a common language to generate for the parser.

Create GUI to create a visual program

Issue

Create a simple GUI using web technologies to drag language building blocks onto a canvas.

Notes

Keep in mind that appropriate information must be available to the code generation process.

User registration

Issue

Allow users to contain their projects in their own user profile space.

Notes

This feature is a if we have time feature. For starters it's suggested to maintain a global list of projects.
