Prototype using for loop

Today, Jean K. and I finished implementing the vocabulary showed in an earlier post. We also made changes to the vocabulary by adding and eliminating some words, commands, sentences in Simon's Grammar module. During the implementation we create the commands necessary to create a program that would print the numbers from 0 to 9. Here is a video that we made showing the creation of this program.

Note: This video does not has sound because there was some technical difficulties when it was recorded.

Categorized vocabulary

In the last few weeks, Jean Karlo and I were working with the vocabulary that was developed last semester. We made a few tables to categorized the vocabulary. The categories were also established last semester in the proposal of Andrea and Natalia.

Here is the first table (draft) that I made 

action	object	operator	text	command	launch	key
printing	variable	adding	literal	symbol	entering	else
grouping		frontslash		operating		for
getting		modulus		initiation
defining		greater than		condition
inserting		and		modification
		negating

Later, Jean Karlo made a few changes expanding the vocabulary and adding new categories

Action	Object	Operator	String	Command
inserting	variable	adding	literal
entering	loop	frontslash		operating
defining		modulus		initiation
		greater than		condition
		and		modification
		negating
		less than
		equal
		grouping ()

Launch	Key	Text	Type	Number
opening	else	accum	character (char)	1 to 9
closing	for	total	integer (int)
starting	printing	a - z	float
ending	while		double
	conditional (if)		string
	function
	class

Our First Prototype of the Semester.

Last week in our weekly meeting Gustavo Gratacos, an undergraduate student who worked in this project in previous years, came by to help us with the problem that we were having with Simon. The problem was that Simon recognized the commands that we created but didn't executed them. After showing Gustavo the problems that we were having and walking him through the steps that we were following, he managed to solve the problem. When we were adding the plugins in the ‘Commands’ Module we needed to click on the plugin that was added and delete what was in the Trigger space, which in this case was ‘Computer’ as shown in the picture below. After doing this, all of the commands that we created worked.

In this meeting we also created a Simple "Hello World" program in a text editor called ‘Kate’, which we made a video of .
