6

Actions

Generic

Show an info panel with atitle, text (and an image)

7

Show a quiz panel with aquestion and answers thatcan be clicked and willtrigger an action when theselected answer is corrector incorrect.

Show a choice panel with aquestion and options thatcan be clicked and thattrigger different actions.

Play the animationof an object

Make an object saysomething for a certainduration

Make an object thinksomething for a certainduration

8

Define the text of atext object

Switch to a differentcamera in your scene

Sound

Play a sound file

Stop playing the sound file

Video

Start playing a video andchoose to wait for the videoto end or not before nextactions

9

Stop playing a certain video

Pause a certain video

10

Events

Input

Make something happenwhen an item is clicked

Define what happens whena certain object is hoveredand not hovered

Define what happens whena certain key is pressed

Collision

Define what happens whena certain object collideswith another object and nolonger collides with it

11

Define what happens whena certain object collideswith any other object andno longer collides with it

Web

Show a YouTube video whenthe object is clicked.

Not supported in VR mode

Open a website when theobject is clicked

Not supported in VR mode

Other

Removes existing events onan object (e.g. when thisobject is clicked or hovered)

12

Control

Loops

Make one or more actionsrepeat a certain amountof times

Make an action happenforever as a loop

Make an action repeat as aloop for a certain amount oftimes. Use every repetitionstep as a variable.

Make an action repeat as aloop while a condition istrue

Make an action repeat foreach entry in a list

13

Stop a loop from repeating

If

Make an action happen only if a certaincondition is true

Make an action happen only if a certaincondition is true. Else, make anotheraction happen

Other

Make my program wait forsome time

Start the scene again fromthe beginning

14

Performmultiple actionstogether at thesame time

Example: Code A and B will start at thesame time. When they both finish, code Cwill start.

Start severalaction sequencesseparately and atthe same time

Example: Code A and B will start at thesame time separately from each other.

This CoBlock structure makes sensewhen code B consists of severalCoBlocks.

This is similar to the “run parallel”example above if code C was empty.

Switch to a different scene

Quit the CoSpace andoptionally show an image

Hide or show arrows toswitch scenes

15

Operators

Logic

Check if a certain number is even or odd.Returns true for even, false for odd.

Check if a certain number is divisible byanother number. Returns true if it is.

Get the remainder of a division

Get the rounded value of a certain number

Gets the rounded to n decimals value of acertain number

Get the square root of a certain number

Get the result of a trigonometric operation

Get the sum of a list of variables

17

Notes

Samples

In this case the girl will turn and move at thesame time. And when both moves are done, thegirl will play clap animation and the flow willcontinue.

In this case, the girl will start moving and alsoturning at the same time. After movement thegirl will also clap, but the turn and main flowof the code will start not waiting formovement to be done.

30

Code A and Code B will start at the same time.When they both finish, Code C will start.

Code A and code B will start at the same timeseparately from each other. This CoBlockstructure makes sense when “Code B” consistsof many CoBlocks. It is similar to previous codeif the Code C is empty
