Users need a way to learn syntax
User NEED a way to learn the syntax of the language and the specific funcions of the program, otherways it will be useless for it's goals: teach people to program.
I know C but I had a lot of trouble to find ou that I was supposed to use the function look() in 2a.laby, which in my case was translated to my system's default language, which I needed to guess what it was.
But later I got stuck again helpless. Please, place useful hints on the levels and guide the user to learn how to get through the software.
Thanks
Hi,
This is a known and of course valid concern.
For now, laby is intended to be used by people who understand programming (and have already played a bit with laby) to teach people who would like do discover it.
Adding a small tutorial for each new functionality would be very nice. It still has to be implemented though!
