Hi Hopscotch Forum, Rodrigo here!

@Rawrbear

My biggest struggle has always been project updates - (unless they added drafts for uploaded projects and I missed that), you can only work in small patches at a time and that’s really tough

Simple post for a big (but important) idea - I would love to see the addition of online projects as drafts! This would make it significantly easier to update big projects without needing to remix them. :)

At the moment, you can edit projects in one session at a time. If you want to take a break from editing, you can’t save your progress unless you upload it online. This makes it really tedious to add new features, especially on a big scale.

This is just a little plug for a big project we’ve been really thinking about lately.

Hi @Rodrigo, if you have time, you should check out the Hopscript topic! Essentially, it’s a project that converts script into Hopscotch blocks in the form of a JSON project. This would allow us to work with power user features like code generation, Git support, code libraries, and just generally being able to interface with Hopscotch from any platform.

So far, @Petrichor has been working hard on a prototype for that. The project is still in its planning/prototyping phase at the moment, but what he’s been able to make so far is really impressive!

We’d love to hear from you there if you have any thoughts. :)

Hopscript: Hopscotch Text Language (Concept)

Continuing the discussion from This Siri Shortcut Can Modify your Projects | 𝓐𝔀𝓮𝓼𝓸𝓶𝓮_𝓔: Hopscript is a typed programming language, kind of like Python or JavaScript, which lets you compile typed code into a Hopscotch project! This is a concept that I’ve been thinking about for a little while, that has recently been brought up by @Awesome_E on the forum. I just wanted to go over some design focuses and present why this would be an amazing idea for the modding community! Amazing automation fron…

Here is some pseudocode, just as an example (nothing is final):

# Catch The Bear, Make Him Grow!

class SuperBear:
    image = “Bear.png”
    xPosition = 10
    yPosition = 100
    when 7 == 7:
        moveForward(100)
        if self.xPosition > 1000:
            self.xPosition = 100
    when self.isTouched == true:
        growBy(self.sizeAsPercent * 1.1)
