Functional MVP for headless quandoscript

[andrewfstratton]

Need to fork a copy of quando and cut down

1. Headless interpreter

• only runs locally
• use simple, throwaway, interpreter

2. Identify pilot blocks

• perform an action
  • log the time
  • ?do every second?
  • ?log a string?
• respond to a user action
  • microbit button press -> log time

3. hard code script

• two simple instructions:
  1. system.log()\n
  2. ubit.whenButton(when={
     system.log()
     })

4. How to contain instructions?

• indentation
  • -buggy
  • +nice to read - like python
• begin/end
• { and }
  • standard
  • less buggy and easier to debug
  • can multiline
  • -harder to read

Could be based on a message - allowing client to still work?!

e.g.

• system.sendMessage(id="message",val="hello")
