TRY.js is supposed to programm a virtual robot which moves in a 3D environment able to pick up and unload objects. The program gives beginners a first insight into the world of computer programming.
Due to the ease of use and the limited instruction set TRY.js is well suited for the introduction to programming, especially for learning the programming language JavaScript. It gives an overview about synchronious and asynchronious codes as well as test driven development.
Anyway you are welcome to send possible bug reports and/or fixes.
Share your work
All your work can be saved on Google Drive™ where you can share your work with your friends. You need a Google™ account to use this feature. However this is optional. You can easily quick share something with a click on the Package / ShareViaLink menu item. This will load a new window where you can copy the URL to share.
To publish your work world wide visit channel.try.js and follow the instructions. The channel.json points to different codes in external repositories. There are some packages available containing an environment, a test suite and a robot program for demonstration purposes. A robot program is optional so you can create different levels for TRY.js. I would be happy to see various mutations and receive pull requests there. If you do not want create your own repo create your own folder and add your codes to examples.try.js.

Forks are welcome but please create a new branch first before submit pull requests. There is a client side test method available window.engine.test();. The method can be invoked via console and tests all packages from channel.try.js in one suite. This should help to keep the code stable.
The website needs a webserver. You can use any webserver, but this repository contains a lightweight Node.js® webserver which will also help to run the headless tests. The headless test expects the website live at http://localhost:3000/. You can change this in the Gruntfile.js settings section.
However I suggest the following workflow:
- install Node.js® from http://nodejs.org/ on your system.
git clone https://github.com/s-a/TRY.js.gitto clone the repo.cd TRY.jsgit branch your-featureor "your-bugfix" to create your own branch.npm installto install develpment dependencies.node server.jsto start the webserver.- open
http://localhost:3000/in your browser and enjoy :). - improve the code. Yeah!
npm testto test your changes (changeGruntfile.jsgrep settings to run single tests).git add .git commit -am "I fixed or improved something"git push- create a pull request
