Basically Bash, in Snap!. A full working editor that works like the Microsoft PowerShell terminal, or DOS, or a Bash file. It will have the same workings, mostly, if possible.
~/editor$ echo ' Bash in Snap!?'; echo 'wow'
~/editor$ echo;
~/editor$ collab="wanna join"
~/editor$ echo '$collab the collaboration?'
Bash in Snap!?
wow
wanna join the collaboration?
Pings for people who may want to join or should see this...
@joecooldoo (new pfp, nice) @bh (may want to see this, it would be amazing if you could help with some stuff)
Before joining, please do if not known a small bit of Bash research or general knowledge.
or just know all of this (essentially bash and snap use similar or the same commands, so these will work, you can click the Shell tab to use actual shell, their isn't really a difference.)
echo is the same (echo ' ')
variable is the same (varName="value"
clear is the same (clear)
line break is the same (echo;)
delay/wait is the same (sleep)
I'll give you variables. And I guess sleep. But Snap! doesn't interact with the user through a character buffer; it does this complicated graphics stuff with sprites and all that. SAY isn't the same as echo, for example, because a particular sprite says the text, and because it vanishes when that sprite says something else.
I have used Bash on my raspberry pi and would be happy to help. In fact the other day i was making something a bit like Bash on Snap! And i'm happy to attempt to make a basic file system too if you want.
Maybe the problem is that I don't understand the entire project goal. A Unix shell is a program to run other programs. With a few exceptions, a shell command doesn't do something the shell knows about; the first word in the shell command names the program you want to run. The shell is useful because of the hundreds of application programs that also come with your Unix system. What will your shell-in-Snap! actually do?
