What is Codification and Reverse Codification?

Tutorials (Here's how to...)
#1

Codification, in this context, means that blocks are converted to a string. Many people use Codification Support blocks made by Snap! to encode blocks, in most cases, to a programming language or something similar!

Reverse Codification is the counterpart of Codification. It uses a string to convert it as a block. Since Snap! primitively doesn't provide any block, users have to create their own blocks to do this task. These are used, for example, to store blocks in browser!

#2

another question people would ask is, how do I use codification.

#3

You can use Codification with the primitive block that Snap! provides.

#4

there's a primitive for this?

#5

Yes... The downside is that you want to convert it to blocks again you need to use Reverse Codification blocks

#6

ok....
