Playing, Pausing and Stepping
Summary:
When running programs created in the Inclusive Coding Environment, I would like to choose between stepping through the programs and having them execute through to completion automatically.
Details:
There are 3 buttons, a play/pause, a step and a restart.
The Step button steps through each action in the program. When a loop is encountered, it steps into loop. If you have a loop of 2 steps and 4 iterations, you would hit the Step button 8 times to get through the loop.
Notes and Examples:
Character Position
- Play: program and character will continue from where they are
- Pause: execution will pause, program and character will keep current position
- Reset: program resets to beginning, character resets to middle, scene is cleared
- When the end of the program is reached, character stays where they are, any drawings stay on screen
