SpriteLab Validation Templates

General Validation Template

To be used in individual levels

//Make sure [CSC Module Helper Library] is included as a library in this level
if (World.frameCount == 1) {
  //Everything in this if-statement will just run once, during the first frame of your level
  //README() //uncomment this to see the README for the helper library in the console of this level
  //turnOnDebugging() //uncomment this to use a DEBUG global variable to control console.log statements in your code
  
  setFailTime(150); // Frames to wait before failing student
  setDelayTime(90); // Frames to wait after success before stopping program
  setupPrevious(); //Defines the validationProps.previous{} object. To use it, call updatePrevious() at the end of this box
  
  //use addCriteria to setup the validation logic.
  //You can use criterion commands as helper functions: 
  //https://github.com/code-dot-org/code-dot-org/blob/staging/apps/src/p5lab/spritelab/commands/criterionCommands.js
  addCriteria(function() {
    //You can write code in here like if-statements and such, but if possible, try to abstract to a function.
    //This isn't always possible, but should be the goal
    return someFunction();
    /* //alternatively:
      if(someCondition) {
        return true;
      }
      return false;
    */

  }, "noSprites");  // include i18n feedback string
}
//Everything after this will run during each 'tick' of the draw loop in your level
//Be careful about putting console.log statements here

//Always have this first to get most up-to-date helper variables
getHelperVars();

//This is what calls updateValidation in 
//https://github.com/code-dot-org/code-dot-org/blob/staging/apps/src/p5lab/spritelab/commands/validationCommands.js
//To check the validation criteria
check();

//Always have this at end to store previous state in validationProps.previous
updatePrevious();
