Step Coder

About Step Coder

Step Coder is a simple and easy code engine for beginners to learn coding. Though Step Coder can not produce any game but is a game or code engine. It uses A-Star Scripting Language that is very easy to learn.

Commands

Log

Logs are the notes, warnings, errors, printed texts and messages that are stored somewhere. These are basically data only.

Syntax	Description	Version	Note
log.print(text	prints text given in/as arguments in log table	+0.2	")" and quotes are not important
log.clear	clears log table	+0.3	no parenthesis should be used in last

Time

Time module manages with timer and time related stuff.

Syntax	Description	Version	Note
time.reset	resets timer and returns a message that it has been reset	+0.3	no parenthesis should be used in last
time.timer	returns time(seconds) that has been recorded by timer	+0.3	no parenthesis should be used in last
time.wait(n1	waits n1 seconds according to timer and prints n1 as text given in/as arguments in log table	+0.5	no parenthesis should be used in last timer will not stop for this

Variable

Variables are values that can change according to conditions

Syntax	Description	Version	Note

String

• text : General string or text
• modeName : Names of two modes available in Engine
• tableName : Names of tables available in Engine
• var  : Name of variable declared by coder

Tables

• Log(log) : Log table carries all data

Open-Source

Acknowledgement

Step-Coder is an OPEN-SOURCE Project made with SCRATCH, It is completely free and you can remake project in $0, that means it is developed from completely free stuff.

Resources

• Scratch Editor(Online/Offline)

Building(Basic Formation)

This Build Will Allow You For Saying User To Code Whatever Needed. You Can Make Custom Codes Using This Template.

1. Take A New Scratch Project.
2. Make Your First Variable Working On. This Is The Most Important Variable Project. Set It For All Sprites While Making. This Is How It Might Appear:
3. Now Make A Question-Answer Option. Use The Desired Code:
4. Now Things Get Harder From Here. Use An Advanced Code Recognizing Technique. For Example One Line Of Code Should Contain "XYZ" So Code Would Be To Check Syntax Is:

   

5. Now Define "do whatever" Using Your Codes.
